Arunachal CM Pema Khandu sets ball rolling to strengthen ILP system

New Delhi: Arunachal Pradesh chief Minister Pema Khandu set the ball rolling to strengthen the existing Inner Line Permit (ILP) system that makes it mandatory for any non-Arunachalee citizen to obtain a permit to enter the state.

In a joint meeting with top government officials and leaders of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU), Khandu emphasized on the need to strengthen the ILP system to prevent illegal entry and prolonged stay of non-local migrants in the state.

“Our main objective is to protect our indigenous tribes from outside influx and we are committed to it,” he said.


While informing that the state government is internally preparing to strengthen the ILP system, Khandu said that it was necessary to take inputs from the state’s premier students’ organization.

AAPPSU, headed by its President Dozi Tana Tara, through a power point presentation explained in detail a survey conducted by the Union and ways and means to strengthen the present system.
