Convenor of Concerned Citizens Manipur   Binalakshmi Nepram said the movement for ILPS is not new. She maintained that the movement was launched in 1980 to protect the indigenous people of the state.

She appealed to the State government to take the right step to resolve the ILPS issue instead of ignoring it to protect the ethnic communities living in Manipur.
