Notes: Inner Line Permit (ILP) is an official travel document issued by the concerned state government to allow inward travel of an Indian citizen into a protected area for a limited period. It is obligatory for Indian citizens from outside those states to obtain a permit for entering into the protected state. Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram are protected by the Inner Line.
Context: The Uttarakhand government, in a recent meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, has sought withdrawal of “inner-line permit” (ILP) system in Niti Valley of Chamoli district and Nelang Valley of Uttarkashi district for better border management and expansion of tourism and other economic activities in villages located there.
