Leave Mon dist: Student group to non-ILP holders

DIMAPUR: The Konyak Students' Union (KSU) has asked all non-locals of Nagaland without a valid inner line permit (ILP) to leave Mon district immediately.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the KSU said it would take action against those who did not comply with its diktat but did not specify what actions it would take.
The statement said the presence of unauthorised individuals poses a significant threat to the social and cultural fabric of "our community" while affirming its resolution to uphold the rule of law and protect the interests of the Konyak people.
Expressing concern over the increasing number of people entering the district without ILP, the influential student body appealed to the law enforcement agencies to conduct regular checking of the ILP at Namsa and Naginimora check gates with immediate effect.
"The blatant disregard for the ILP regulations is unacceptable and undermines the legal framework meant to regulate and monitor the entry of non-residents into our district," the statement said.
The union also said it is imperative to enforce stringent measures to ensure that no person without a valid ILP is allowed into the district and appealed to all concerned, including village committees, town student unions and law enforcement agencies to promptly address the issue.
