- DIMAPUR — A
consultative meeting on the proposed online implementation of the Inner Line
Permit (ILP) system in Dimapur, Chümoukedima, and Niuland districts was held on
Tuesday at the Deputy Commissioner’s conference hall in Dimapur.
- The meeting was chaired by Deputy Commissioner Dr.
Tinojongshi Chang and attended by representatives from various community and
social organisations, including Bengali Samaj, Jain Samaj, Agarwal Samaj,
Muslim Council Dimapur, Nagaland Bihari Samaj, Nagaland Bhojpuri Samaj, Sikh
Samaj, Dimapur Gorkha Union, Marwari Samaj, Kerala Samaj, Telugu Samaj, and
Utkal (Oriya) Samaj.
- Speaking to media after the meeting, the DC described the
discussion as “fruitful” and confirmed that the state government, in a cabinet
meeting held on May 14, reiterated its decision to implement the ILP in the
three districts. He stated that the purpose of the meeting was to inform
community leaders of the imminent enforcement and to address any lingering
concerns.
- He clarified that although a previous notification on ILP
enforcement had been kept in abeyance due to various challenges, the process
will now proceed without delay. This time it will be executed, no matter what,
he said.
- Dr. Chang urged community members, especially those falling
under Category III, to begin preparing the necessary documentation to ensure a
smooth rollout once the official notification is issued.
