Key takeaways
Imphal, Jiribam and Mao Centers have been inaugurated.
Under the portal, a person from outside the state can apply online for ILP and get the permit from issuing centres after onsite verification.
The e-ILP tracking system has been developed to mend the loopholes in the procedures adopted to issue the permit and its tracking system.
It has a comprehensive dashboard system that would actively show information such as number of people entering the state on a particular date and time and graphical break-up based presentation of people visiting through different entry gates.
The system is also enabled with automated generation of a defaulted list of people who have overstayed beyond the permitted number of days as per the permit.
The ILP system came into effect in Manipur on January 1, 2020.
