The new system would enable mobile tracking of defaulters and taking necessary action, he added. He also informed that an Inner Line Permit Monitoring Cell with DIG (Intelligence) as Chairman had been set up to ensure proper reading of entry and exit and to track overstay. He thanked the officials operating the permit-issuing centre at different entry and exit points.
