Nov 12, 2025 (Imphal): Highlighting the difficulties faced by the Manipuri Muslims (Meitei Pangal) residing in Assam and Tripura while entering Manipur due to the implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in Manipur, the Manipuri Muslim (Pangal) Development Organisation (MMDO), Assam, has submitted a memorandum to Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla raising the concern this afternoon at Raj Bhavan.
The memorandum was submitted by Md. Abdul Nur Choudhury, President of MMDO-Assam, along with five members of the organisation to the Manipur Governor.
According to MMDO President Md. Abdul Nur Choudhury, the community shares deep historical, cultural, and ancestral ties with Manipur, and he urged the government to treat them as part of the same social and ethnic lineage.
It may be mentioned that the ILP system was introduced in Manipur on January 1, 2020, making it the fourth state after Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Mizoram to implement the requirement. Under this regulation, outsiders, including citizens from other parts of India, must obtain official permission to visit states under the ILP regime.
