Addressing mediapersons here, Joy Chingakham, spokesman of the Joint Committee On Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS), said the committee would issue a form for Rs 50 from November 19 and every outsider with proper police verification report and domicile certificate from their respective states should submit it by December 19.

He said mobilisation campaign to bring awareness over the increasing influx, which is affecting the demographical structure of the state, would begin from today by the JCILPS by holding public meetings, discussion etc.

He said people of Manipur were not against people from outside the state but there should be some system to protect identity, culture and tradition of the original inhabitants.

 

Chingakham said persons coming to Manipur to study, as tourists, for business, for shot term stay and other purposes would be given permit according to the purpose of their visit.

He claimed that non-Manipuris who had come here for different purposes were "involved in several crimes as per official records".

The effort of the JCILPS was to enable people of different communities to live harmoniously, he said. (More)
