Shillong MP Ricky AJ Syngkon Calls For Implementation Of Inner Line Permit In Meghalaya

SHILLONG: Shillong MP Ricky AJ Syngkon has indicated that the issue of implementing the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in Meghalaya will be raised at the national level.

It is an attempt to address the growing demand of the public to put in place measures to prioritize the interests of the state's indigenous population.

Syngkon, while speaking to the media, said that he has discussed about the ILP on an informal level but has not brought up this issue at the national level, such as in Parliament.

He affirmed that attention needs to be focused on this pressing issue in an appropriate forum, assuring that he is fully committed to take up this issue in Parliament soon so as to ensure that the concerns of the local people are heard.

Notably, the demand for ILP in Meghalaya stems from increasing concerns over the rising influx of people from outside the state. A large section of the local population fear that this trend could erode indigenous cultures and exert undue pressure on limited resources.
