Arunachal Pradesh: 170 people arrested for not having ILP papers
ITANAGAR | January 23, 2020:
Atleast 170 people were apprehended for not having Inner-Line Permit (ILP) in Arunachal Pradesh, during a drive to check the influx of illegal migrants carried out by the
capital district administration, along with police, on Tuesday.
Altogether 63 people were from Itanagar, and 86 people were from Naharlagun.
At Banderdewa, 21 people were caught without valid ILPs. Later, they were brought before the executive magistrate at the mobile court and all violators were deported out of the state through the Banderdewa checkgate.
However, the administration said the genuine people can always apply for ILP with valid documents and enter the state by following due procedure of rule.
Deputy commissioner Komkar Dulom said the district administration has zero tolerance against such violators and urged all genuine non-Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe people to cooperate in carrying out the drive successfully.
Many fake ILP passes were also detected during the drive and action will soon be taken against such illegal syndicate issuing false documents, he added.
The drive will continue from time-to-time to detect illegal migrants in the state, Dulom said.
