The Mizoram government has directed officials to remain alert for people, whose names were excluded from neighbouring Assam’s National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise, trying to enter the state, its home minister said on Monday.
Minister Lalchamliana said the government has also asked officials to check the NRC status of applicants before issuing them temporary inner-line permits, which are applicable for seven days and are necessary to enter the state. “The officials have been asked to remain alert because people whose names are not in NRC may try to enter Mizoram,” said Lalchamliana, asking if non-citizens be allowed to get inner-line permits.

But Arunachal Pradesh, another state where inner line permits are required for entry, said it had initiated no such measures. In Meghalaya, where such permits are not required, police said it had intensified checking at entry points to the state.
