Nagaland Indigenous People's Forum supports government decision to implement ILP

• DIMAPUR — The Nagaland Indigenous People's Forum (NIPF) has strongly supported the decision of the state government to implement Inner Line Permit (ILP) in three districts of Dimapur, Chümoukedima and Niuland.
• 
  
• Welcoming the decision as in the interest and protection of indigenous people, it cautioned that a day is not far when the local would become minor and be a slave to outsiders if effective preventive measures are not taken at the earliest.
• 
  
• It pointed out that due to the negligence of some other state governments, local indigenous people have now become second class citizens in their own states and the same fate might befall on Nagaland if the government does not act now.
