NSF seeks overhaul of ILP enforcement mechanism

Dimapur, Oct 2 (UNI) The Naga Students Federation (NSF) has demanded an overhaul of the inner line permit (ILP) enforcement mechanism by constitution of an autonomous Nagaland Inner Line Regulation Commission through legislation, restoration of checkpoints, a centralised entry-and-exit register and stronger coordination between departments.
The inner line regulation commission (ILRC) of NSF, in a 17-page representation to Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Thursday, said its review of 1,490 pages of records obtained through the Right to Information Act found 644 ILP defaulters detected during police checks over two days in April, while only one removal was recorded in the material made available to it, calling for an overhaul of the ILP enforcement mechanism.
The representation said hundreds of people were detected allegedly violating Nagaland's ILP requirements during checking drives in 2026, but the enforcement action that followed appears limited, according to a compilation of government records by the ILRC.
The ILRC said the 'consolidated recommendations' were based on a two-day national seminar on the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR), 1873, held in Dimapur in August.
The commission said it had also sought information from the state home department and all 17 district administrations in May 2026 on the matter. It also cited earlier RTI applications made in August 2025.
It said the records, together with government committee reports and other documents, showed "serious gaps" between detection and enforcement.
According to the ILRC, the Nagaland police checked more than 1,900 passes on April 10 and 11 following the Assam Assembly elections and the Mokokchung bye-election.
It further cited the detection of 436 defaulters on April 10 and another 208 on April 11, among other ILP defaulter detections. UNI BHG SAS
