Meghalaya MP Seeks ILP Amid Influx Concerns From Assam
Imagine Meghalaya is like a special place where the people want to control who can visit and live there.
Their representative in the government is asking for a system called ILP, which is like a special permit you need to enter.
They're worried because people are being kicked out of Assam and might move to Meghalaya.
The MP wants to protect the people's culture and land, and wants the government to help with jobs and better travel options too.
They also want the government to recognize their language and help with local jobs.
Meghalaya MP Ricky Syngkon urged the Union Home Ministry to implement the Inner Line Permit (ILP).
The MP expressed concern over potential influx from Assam due to ongoing eviction drives.
ILP is sought to protect the cultural identity, land rights, and socio-economic security of tribal communities.
The MP also raised issues about constitutional recognition of the Khasi language.
The MP requested action on employment opportunities and revival of air routes.
