Pandemonium broke out on the third day of the Budget Session in the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly today during a debate on the state's proposal to designate a protected area under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025. Amid heated exchanges between the treasury and opposition benches over the Inner Line Permit, Speaker Thomas A Sangma repeatedly called for order before adjourning the House for ten minutes. The confrontation centered on the government's parallel push for the ILP and a notification for a restricted area, even as the proposal awaits approval from the Centre.
