The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) in Meghalaya has criticized Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong's proposal for 'ILP-like' provisions under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025. The HYC argues this is a tactic to delay the demand for a full Inner Line Permit (ILP), stating that vague legal language does not replace a genuine ILP. They demand a clear declaration on whether Meghalaya will receive full ILP powers, warning that partial measures would betray indigenous communities and fail to prevent illegal migration or demographic threats.
