The Meghalaya BJP is urging the state and central governments to strictly enforce the Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security Act (MRSSA) to combat illegal immigration, suggesting it's a more practical approach than proposed Inner Line Permit (ILP)-like mechanisms. The party advocates for prioritizing the MRSSA's tenant registration and monitoring capabilities. Meanwhile, the state government has discussed a proposal with the Union Home Minister for a protected area provision under a new central law, mirroring ILP-style protections.
