MIMA Urges Stricter ILP Enforcement Amidst Railway Line Opening
The Mizoram Merchant Association (MIMA) is asking the government to be stricter about checking the Inner Line Permit (ILP) because a new train line is opening.
They are worried that more people from other places might come, and the local people could lose out economically.
The ILP is like a special pass needed to enter Mizoram.
MIMA wants the government to check these passes very carefully at the train station and along the new railway line to prevent any problems.
