Meghalaya Explores ILP-like Provisions in Immigration Act

The Meghalaya government is looking into adding special rules, similar to the Inner Line Permit (ILP), to a new immigration law.

They want to make sure these rules are legal and can protect the state's residents.

Right now, another law called the MRSSA is only partly working because the government couldn't set up checkpoints to control who enters and leaves the state.

The courts said these checkpoints might not be legal, so the government is trying to find other ways to make the law work.

They are also looking at changing central laws to better protect Meghalaya's residents.
