Manipur Issues Order to Prevent Illegal State Entry
The Manipur government is working to stop people from entering the state illegally.
This is because of trouble in nearby countries and follows a similar order from Nagaland.
The government will watch borders, set up special teams, and collect information on anyone entering illegally.
If someone is found to have entered illegally, they will be held and sent back.
This action comes amidst ongoing conflict and concerns about immigration from Myanmar, particularly involving the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities.
Manipur issued a memorandum for heightened vigilance against illegal immigration, mirroring Nagaland's actions.
The Manipur memorandum cites the 'turmoil situation in neighbouring countries' as the reason.
The order directs vigilance at international, inter-state, and inter-district boundaries.
District level task forces will be created to check illegal migrants.
The government will record details, secure, and deport illegal immigrants after due procedure.
