Capital Police Intensify Drive Against ILP Violators
Itanagar, June 9:
The Itanagar Capital Police, under the supervision of Superintendent of Police (SP) Jummar Basar, has intensified its enforcement drive against violators of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) regulations across the Capital Region as part of its ongoing efforts to ensure strict compliance with existing laws.
According to police authorities, the operation forms part of a routine enforcement exercise conducted under the provisions of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR), 1873, which governs the entry and stay of non-Arunachal Pradesh residents in the state.
During regular verification and checking drives carried out across various locations within the Capital Complex, police teams have identified a significant number of individuals found residing or travelling without valid ILP documents. Authorities stated that appropriate legal action is taken against violators in accordance with the law, including externment from the state and other necessary measures wherever required.
The Capital Police clarified that such enforcement activities are conducted regularly throughout the year as part of standard policing procedures aimed at safeguarding the interests of indigenous communities and ensuring adherence to the state's permit regulations. However, many of these operations do not always receive media attention despite being carried out consistently.
Police officials further informed that ILP verification drives will continue across the Capital Region and urged all residents, business establishments, employers, landlords, and visitors to cooperate with law enforcement agencies during inspections.
The Capital Police also appealed to citizens to ensure that all non-residents residing, working, or conducting business within the state possess valid Inner Line Permits and comply with the provisions of the BEFR, 1873.
Residents of the Capital Complex have been advised to remain vigilant and report any suspected cases of ILP violations to the nearest police station. Authorities reiterated their commitment to maintaining law and order while ensuring strict implementation of the Inner Line Permit system in the state.
