Aizawl, Mar 24 : Mizoram Home Minister R Lalzirliana today that the Inner Line Permits (ILPs) issued to those non-tribals for doing business in betel nuts would not be renewed and would be cancelled after the expiry of the permits.
Reacting to the allegations by Lalduhoma of the Zoram Nationalist Party (ZNP, who raised the matter of 'gross violations of guidelines for regulating the entry and stay of non-indigenous persons within the inner line of Mizoram' in calling attention motion, Lalzirliana admitted that the government was aware of the abuse of the guidelines for ILP.
"The government is aware of the abuses of the ILP guidelines as the ILP cannot be used for running businesses in Mizoram," he said, adding that a new guideline was drafted which will ensure punishment for the sponsors who abuse the ILP.
Moving a calling attention motion, former Lok Sabha member and ZNP chief Lalduhoma alleged that many ILP holders were doing businesses in the state and that he was having a long list of such defaulters.
He urged the state government to take prompt action against the offenders, including the sponsors.
