Arunachal Group Raises Concerns Over ILP Notification and Illegal Migration

The Arunachal ST Bachao Andolan Committee (ASTBAC) has raised concerns about a rise in illegal migrants, including Bangladeshi immigrants and Tibetan refugees, threatening indigenous tribal communities' identity and rights. The group criticized a March 26 gazette notification on the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system, alleging it reintroduced old rules and caused confusion over current regulations. ASTBAC accused the Political Department of administrative ambiguity and called for transparency and proper enforcement of laws protecting tribal interests under the colonial-era Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873.
