Rengma students support LSU on ILP implementation

Dimapur, July 21 (EMN): The Rengma Students' Union (RSU) has appreciated the stand taken by the Lotha Students' Union (LSU) with regard to Inner Line Permit (ILP) system 'to curb the influx of the illegal immigrants'. A press release from the RSU, while extending its support to the LSU, asserted that "the lack of stringent implementation of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BERF) Act of 1873 and the provisions of BERF Act 1873 being too old and many of its provisions of the Act becoming irrelevant in our present context to check and detect the influx illegal immigrants in the state". In this connection, the RSU urged the state government ‘to hear the common cry’ and look into the matter and come out with a proper Inner Line Permit (ILP) regulation guidelines for the betterment of the state, for which the RSU will extend its fullest cooperation, the release stated.
