A petition filed before the Supreme Court has sought a direction to the Centre and the Nagaland government to take steps for the protection of non-Nagas living in Dimapur following the imposition of the Inner Line Permit (ILP).
About:
Inner Line Permit (ILP) is an official travel document issued by the Government of India to allow inward travel of an Indian citizen into a protected/restricted area for a limited period.
The document is an effort by the Government to regulate movement to certain areas located near the international border of India.
ILP system is currently in operation in Mizoram, AP and Nagaland. Manipur had the system of ILP but it was abolished in 1950.
Section 2 of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873 empowers a State government to prescribe ‘Inner Line’ to prohibit citizens of India or any class of such citizens going beyond the prescribed line without a pass.
