Although the SP refused to state the exact number of Manipuris detained, the SP categorically stated that it is mandatory for non-Mizos residing/staying in Mizoram to possess Inner Line Permit.
Taking serious note of this sudden development, Manipur Chief Secretary is making correspondence with his Mizoram counterpart.
The Government of Mizoram is being asked not to pull up Manipuris staying there until they could get their Inner Line Permits.
Meanwhile, information received from Aizawl said that all the arrested Manipuris have been released.
The Government of Mizoram has given them a month's time to get the mandatory Inner Line Permits.
