Inner Line Curfew

The Meghalaya government will pass a resolution during a special session of the Legislative Assembly on December 19 seeking implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) in the state, officials said on Saturday.

Long queue of vehicles outside petrol pumps due to rationing of fuel in Manipur's Imphal, has led to many people spending hours, waiting for their turn late into the night. Fuel shortage is the latest crisis to hit the state capital, which is just emerging from months of agitation and shutdown over restriction of entry to outsiders in the state.

Three people have been killed and eight others injured after violence erupted in Manipur's Churachandpur town last evening over three bills passed in the state assembly yesterday. An indefinite curfew has been imposed in the area.

The committee leading protests in Manipur's capital Imphal has decided to go ahead with a 12-hour general strike tomorrow, despite conciliatory measures by the state government towards those who want strict regulations for the entry of non-indigenous people into the state.

The Manipur government has withdrawn a bill introduced in the state Assembly this March, that was supposed to regulate the entry of outsiders into the state, but was rejected by protestors saying it had no teeth.

It's been more than four days since Manipur's capital Imphal is under curfew, but the protesters who are demanding tough restrictions on the entry of outsiders - both Indians and foreigners - in the state are continuing their struggle.

Curfew has been extended for the fourth consecutive day in Imphal today, following violent clashes between students and the police in which a Class 9 student was killed on Wednesday.

A student of Class 9 died in Imphal today after as protesting students clashed with the police. And indefinite curfew has been clamped in the area and the situation is tense.
