The decision comes two days after Amit Shah announced that the ILP would be extended to the northeastern state.

The inner line permit (ILP) regime was extended to Manipur on Wednesday, 11 December, with President Ram Nath Kovind signing the order to this effect.

Manipur is the fourth state after Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram where the ILP regime is applicable.

To visit the ILP-regime states, outsiders, including people from other states of the country, needs to take permission.
