Kohima: The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) is sounding the alarm on illegal immigration. Reports indicate people from Bangladesh and Myanmar are trying to enter and pass through Northeast India. The group warns these developments pose "serious demographic, socio-economic, cultural and security challenges to the indigenous people."
The NSF wants the government to tighten security. They are calling for stronger surveillance at all entry points into Nagaland. Officials need to verify identity documents and ramp up inspections. Better coordination between enforcement agencies is vital to block unlawful movement. The organization expects Deputy Commissioners, district administrations, Village Councils, Town Councils, and ward authorities to keep a close watch. Everyone in Naga areas must follow the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation of 1873.
Extortion is a major problem. Some people are harassing non-Naga residents, students, and workers under the pretext of checking permits. The NSF slammed these tactics. "Such acts are illegal, wholly unacceptable, and constitute a serious abuse of the ILP mechanism," the Inner Line Regulation Commission stated. The group insists no person or group has the authority to collect money or threaten anyone using the permit system as an excuse. They plan to track down those responsible for these crimes and push for legal action.
Citizens should stay alert. If you see illegal entry, permit violations, or extortion, report it. Contact your local colony chairman, Village Council, police, or the district administration. You can also reach the ILRC-NSF directly at 84138 99928. The federation is warning the public against spreading rumors or targeting people without proof. They remain committed to a transparent process that follows the law.
