Nagaland Addresses Border Disputes with Assam, Plans New Police Outposts

Nagaland legislators have raised concerns over frequent tensions and administrative challenges along the disputed Assam-Nagaland border, highlighting Assam's increased police presence despite the 1972 interim agreement under which Nagaland withdrew its outposts. MLA Achumbemo Kikon alleged that neutral forces have not maintained impartiality, affecting local economic activities and land rights. In response, Nagaland's Deputy Chief Minister Yanthungo Patton announced plans to establish nine new police outposts to strengthen security and address ongoing disputes in the border region.
