  • The information is given by Speaker Lalrinriana Sailo on Wednesday.

  • “The Bill was passed and sent to the Governor in march. It has been referred to the President recently. I don’t know why it took six months for the Governor to refer the Bill to the President,” said Sailo.
     
  • Besides identifying illegal immigrants, the Bill aims to provide a credible individual identification system.
