Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma calls for extending Inner Line Permit amid CAA concerns, citing potential "spill over" from Northeast.
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has addressed concerns over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as most of the state falls under the Sixth Schedule, exempting it from the law.

He cited the need for such a system to check any potential "spill over" from other parts of the Northeast.
