its not that we need permit for visiting every ner states. you can visit assam, meghalay without permit. the government has made a system to obtain a permit for visitng the remaining five states. govt has made this after very carefull observations. its not that there are illiterates sitting at the center making any laws. india is governed by its IAS, IPS, IFS officers not by politicians. these officers are the best scholars of the nation. the law is made to safe guard the tribles of these states. its not any visa. you can obtain them in a hour or two. whats the problem is that we don't want to follow the law. we want everything on our fingertips readily. but remember if you want to make india good nation you shuold perform your duties to make it.
