Leave Mon district: Student body to immigrants sans Nagaland ILP

DIMAPUR: Konyak Students’ Union (KSU) has asked all immigrants without a valid inner line permit (ILP) to leave Nagaland’s Mon district immediately.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the KSU said non-compliance with the directive will invite “necessary action”.
It said the presence of unauthorised people 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 Konyak people.
Expressing concern over increasing number of immigrants entering the district without ILP, it urged law enforcement agencies to conduct regular ILP checks at Namsa and Naginimora check gates with immediate effect.
It said blatant disregard for ILP regulations is unacceptable and undermines the legal framework meant to regulate and monitor the entry of nonresidents into “our district”. The union said it is imperative to enforce stringent measures to ensure that immigrants without valid ILP are not allowed into the district.
It urged respective villages and town students unions and law enforcement agencies to take the matter seriously and promptly address the issue.
