Silchar Oct. 29: The Mizoram home department has ordered the state police to immediately launch a full-fledged drive to detect non-domiciled people who are now staying in the state without valid inner line permits.
Indian citizens who are not domiciled in Mizoram and have no houses of their own in the state are required to obtain permits for their stay for a specified period in Mizoram either for a job or business.
Home minister Lalzirliana said in Aizawl yesterday that Indian citizens who are not permanent residents of Mizoram would be required to obtain inner-line regulation passes while entering the state.
Lalzirliana said a drive conducted this year has so far identified 7,812 people from outside Mizoram staying in the state without any inner-line permit. It was found that 6,673 people were overstaying with lapsed permits, he said.
The sources in the home department in Aizawl suspect that many among them are Bangladeshis who have sneaked into Mizoram either from Cachar or Karimganj districts of Assam to eke out a livelihood.
Lalzirliana said the drive against persons staying illegally would be stepped up in the coming months.
