Ruling out the re-introduction of a permit system for Indians seeking to enter Meghalaya, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Thursday said the government will implement a strong law to check the influx of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

“The government is equally concerned over the influx and we will tackle the issue by strengthening the existing laws and enforcement agencies,” Sangma told reporters here after a meeting with 10 social organisations which demanded the re-introduction of the inner line permit (ILP) system.<\/div>\n

He said that the government was in process of having a system, which was “more effective and comprehensive” rather than the ILP, which is also perceived as a piece of law that infringed upon the fundamental rights of the citizens.<\/p>\n

The ILP is issued under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873 by the state governments.<\/p>\n

The chief minister claimed the tribal population had declined in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, where ILP was in force to curb the influx of outsiders in those states.<\/p>\n

Underlining the need to implement the National Population Register Biometric Enrolment Plan in the state, Sangma said it will help a great deal to verify the credentials of the people.<\/p>\n

“It is our shared objective to check influx and infiltration and we require further engagement and cooperation of NGOs, instead of hitting a stone-wall and taking a confrontational attitude,” the chief minister said, while making clear that his government will not re-introduce the ILP in the state.<\/p>\n

The 10 social organisations sought restrictions like the inner line permit – required by Indian citizens to enter Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram – saying that the influx situation in Meghalaya might go out of control given its proximity to Bangladesh and Assam.<\/p>\n

Joe Marwein, the spokesman of the 10 organisations, said the implementation of the ILP would help protect the tribal population from being “annihilated” in their own land.<\/p>\n
