Reimposition of Protected Area Regime
Context
The Centre has re-imposed the Protected Area Permit (PAP) in the Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland, due to growing security concerns linked to the influx of people from neighboring countries. This measure requires foreign nationals visiting these states to obtain Protected Area Permits (PAP) under the Foreigners (Protected Areas) Order, 1958.
What is Protected Area Permit (PAP)?
- A Protected Area Permit (PAP) is issued under the Foreigners (Protected Areas) Order, 1958.
- It is a regulatory mechanism for controlling the entry of non-Indian citizens into designated areas in India, primarily in the Northeastern regions, which include states like Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, and others.
- These areas are considered sensitive due to geopolitical concerns, security issues, and the need for controlled tourism and migration.
- The Ministry of Home Affairs is the central authority responsible for issuing the PAP.
- In addition, the state authorities of the concerned regions, such as the state governments of Northeastern states, can also issue PAPs.
- Duration: The PAP is generally issued for a 10-day However, it can be extended for an additional 7 days, depending on the specific situation or requirement.
