Kohima: The fourth session of the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly, on Thursday resumed the discussion of the Registration of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN) and Inner Line Permit (ILP), which was left incomplete.
The discussion on matters of urgent public importance, Minister for PHED Jacob Zhimomi said as far as RIIN issue is concerned, all the members are unanimous including the NGOs, Tribal Hohos and Civil Society Organisations. He said, it has both merits and demerits yet merits supersede demerits.”
Participating in the debate, MLA Chumben Murry stated that the Nagas as indigenous people is not well documented. He said, RIIN and ILP are two different things, elaborating that RIIN will identify us based on certain criteria whereas ILP is more or less like a travel document. (UNI)
