Kohima: The Inner Line Regulation Commission of the Naga Students Federation met with representatives from the Bhojpuri Samaj and Bihari Samaj in Dimapur on June 27. The session at Hotel Grand Vista aimed to gather feedback for the upcoming rollout of the Inner Line Regulation across the state.
Commission leaders want the final policy to remain practical and effective. They claim the process operates on principles of transparency and equal opportunity for all stakeholders. The group asserts that Nagas are the sole indigenous inhabitants of the state. They argue that the regulation acts as a shield for the historical and cultural rights of the indigenous population.
Some non-Naga groups missed the scheduled talks. The commission remains open to hearing their perspectives and urged these organizations to contact the federation office soon. They emphasized that stakeholders hold a duty to engage on matters of public importance.
The commission expects to use these meetings to shape their final report. They stated, "The commission’s recommendations would be formulated on the basis of consultations and submissions received from participating stakeholders." Officials thanked the attendees for their time and contributions to the project.
