Nagaland: Authorities notify mandatory Inner Line Permit to visit Dimapur
The Dimapur administration in Nagaland, in an order dated May 27, has notified the official enforcement of Inner Line Permit (ILP) within the district with immediate effect. The ILP system, under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation (BEFR), 1873, has been in force in the Naga Hills (present day Nagaland) since 1873. It requires anyone, both Indian and foreigner, who is not an indigenous inhabitant of Nagaland, to obtain a permit as prescribed by the state government to enter Nagaland for a limited period. Dimapur, a general constituency seat sharing borders with Assam and having mixed population from different states, was exempt from the purview of ILP till 2019. Besides Nagaland, the ILP regime is in force in Manipur, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh in northeast India. In the new notification, the deputy commissioner of Dimapur also announced a revised fee structure wherein a domestic tourist can obtain a 30-day permit for ₹200 and foreign tourists for ₹300. The fees and validity of other categories such as traders, labourers, students, teachers, priests and business partners range from ₹300 for fresh permit and ₹150- ₹3,000 for annual or quarterly renewal, depending on the category. The ILP can be applied online. The order listed key documents required for application of ILP, such as Aadhaar, educational certificates, business registration proofs, and in some cases, a local guarantor. Students and foreign tourists are exempted from providing local guarantors. It was also notified that ILP applications from residents of Assam's border districts Karimganj, Hailakandi, Dima Hasao and Karbi Anglong would require National Register of Citizens (NRC) documents. Exemptions have been made based on the settlers' dates of residence in Dimapur. Those who have settled in Dimapur before two cut-off dates – December 1, 1963, and November 21, 1979 – are exempted from ILP requirement and can obtain a permanent residential certificate (PRC) and domicile certificates after furnishing documents such as entry in electoral roll, land/property patta, etc. Naga civil society organisations and student bodies have been seeking the ILP regime in Dimapur for long, fearing the influx of illegal immigrants that could pose a threat to the indigenous communities. The state government constituted different panels to study the viability of bringing the cosmopolitan district under the ambit of BEFR, the last being in 2018, tasked to bring out a robust policy to safeguard the rights and security of the indigenous people. Following the report of the said panel, the state government in December 2019 notified to bring Dimapur district under ILP with the cut-off date basing on the government's November 1979 notification, where the then Dimapur sub-division under Kohima district was declared as tribal belt. However, Dimapur being a transit route for inter-state travellers to and from neighbouring Manipur and Assam, challenges in strict implementation of the ILP regime persisted. In December 2021, Dimapur was bifurcated into three separate districts — existing Dimapur, Chümoukedima and Niuland. In June 2023, the operation of ILP in (erstwhile) Dimapur district was suspended after a cabinet sub-committee was constituted to further study the modalities of ILP in the Dimapur valley. Since then, student bodies and civil society organisations have continued to pressurise the state government for ILP in the district. Meanwhile, following the Centre's decision to reimpose the Protected Area Permit (PAP) regime in the northeastern states, including Nagaland, in December last year, the Dimapur commissioner of police announced the mandatory registration of foreign nationals visiting Nagaland. PAP is a system that requires foreign nationals to obtain a permit to visit certain areas in India, mainly in the northeast states. PAP was lifted from Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland in 2011 to promote tourism but was reimposed in December 2024 by the Union ministry of home affairs (MHA) citing security concerns. The Dimapur police commissioner, who is also the foreigners' registration officer (FRO), informed that all foreign nationals intending to visit Nagaland would now be required to obtain PAP from the state/district FRO prior to their arrival. In an advisory, the FRO said besides the required registration, nationals of Afghanistan, China and Pakistan should obtain prior approval from the MHA before visiting Nagaland. Queries can be addressed to fro-nadpr@ and 7085065056, the administration said.

Those settling on or after Nov 22, 1979, are required to obtain an ILP as per govt guidelines.

New digital advertising board submitted for Newport street
The paper and paste hoarding at 55 Chepstow Road, Newport, could be replaced with a digital display following the approval of planning application PP-13971315. The application was submitted by Wildstone Estates Limited, with Alder King Planning Consultants acting as the agent. The new display will be 6m wide, 3m high, and 0.29m deep, and will be mounted 2.25m above the ground. It will be internally illuminated, with a maximum brightness of 5,000 cd/m² in daylight and 300 cd/m² at night. The advertisement period for the new display is set from June 28, 2025, to April 28, 2030. The applicant stated the intention to convert the existing advertisement, which has been in place since July 2008, into a modern digital D-Poster display, which will be 50 per cent smaller than the original. The new display is expected to bring several public benefits. These include reducing vehicle trips and waste associated with poster replacement and allowing real-time, remote updates of displayed content. The display will also offer a platform for public messages and emergency broadcasts. The new display will be a static one, showing six rotating adverts every 10 seconds. It will include ambient light sensors and remote diagnostics. The location, classified as Environmental Zone 3 (suburban), is already well-lit with no heritage or conservation constraints nearby. The application stated: "Replacing a 12m x 3m sign with a smaller unit provides visual benefit to the area." The new display is expected to maintain public safety, as it will be in the same position as the current board, maintaining driver sightlines. It will not display moving images, animations, or videos, only static ads with a 10-second dwell time. The application confirms that the display will be a single panel, 3m x 6m x 0.1m, with brightness varying with ambient light, controlled by sensors and a light table. The consent for the new digital display is granted for five years, with conditions including luminance restrictions aligned with ILP guidelines. If the display malfunctions, it must default to a black screen.

AI image showing '90s Bengaluru vs 2025' goes viral, suggests Inner Line Permit as solution
An AI-generated image comparing Bengaluru in the 1990s with the city in 2025 has gone viral on social media, drawing mixed reactions for its grim depiction of urban decay and its provocative suggestion, introducing an Inner Line Permit (ILP) system as a solution. The collage shows three contrasting visuals: a lush, green, and sparsely populated Bengaluru from the 1990s; a chaotic 2025 version marked by flooding, overpopulation, and rampant urbanisation; and finally, a message stating that the way forward is the implementation of an ILP, a permit system currently used in certain northeastern states to regulate entry of outsiders. (Also Read: 'Difficult to learn 200 local words?': Mohandas Pai reacts to row over SBI manager's refusal to speak Kannada) The image surfaced online shortly after Bengaluru witnessed severe rainfall, which once again brought the city's fragile infrastructure into focus. Several parts of the city were inundated, reigniting debates about unchecked development, poor civic planning, and the strain on public services. However, the AI image's proposed solution, the Inner Line Permit, triggered sharp debate among social media users. Critics slammed the idea as unconstitutional and impractical. 'This is a solution??? Build infrastructure, vote intelligently, hold your municipality accountable! This suggestion of yours is isolationist and unconstitutional,' one X user posted. Another called it a 'silly' proposal, saying, 'You guys simply cannot think big at all. Instead of taking up an ambitious project to fix the infrastructure, you're proposing these silly solutions.' Not everyone dismissed the idea. A few users supported the sentiment behind the ILP suggestion, citing growing cultural and infrastructural stress. 'Absolutely true… otherwise there will be differences. In the long run, Inner Line is necessary,' one wrote. Others worried the debate was veering toward divisive politics. 'Instead of One India, everyone here wants to divide India into thousands of pieces again,' another user said.
