According to the U.S. Department of State
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1990 (p.
1436), "Indian citizens enjoy full freedom of movement within the
country, except in certain border areas where, for security
reasons, special permits are required." This was corroborated by an
official of the High Commission of India in Ottawa (7 Jan.
1992).
Attached please find an article from The
