Singh informed that the ILP system was yet to be implemented effectively, though in principle, it came into force the day it was published in the official Gazette of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

"To implement ILP effectively, the final notification of the rules and regulations needs to be published in the Official Gazette of the state. As such, the authority is working on it efficiently," said Singh.
