Inner Line Permit biggest gift to Manipur

In news

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had extended the Inner Line Permit ( ILP) to Manipur as a gift because depriving the benefits of the ILP system would be an injustice to the people of the state.

About ILP
  • Inner Line Permit is a document that allows an Indian citizen to visit or stay in a state that is protected under the ILP system.
  • The system is in force today in fourNortheastern states — Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram and Manipur.
  • No Indian citizen can visit any of these states unless he or she belongs to that state, nor can he or she overstay beyond the period specified in the ILP.
History
  • The concept comes from the colonial area.
  • Under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation Act, 1873, the British framed regulations restricting the entry and regulating the stay of outsiders in designated areas.
  • This was to protect the Crown’s own commercial interests by preventing “British subjects” (Indians) from trading within these regions.
  • In 1950, the Indian government replaced “British subjects” with “Citizen of India”.
