Northern Angami Public Organisation (NAPO) has urged the state government to deploy security forces and provide proper medical facilities along the borders with Assam.
In a press release, NAPO president Zeneituo Yano and press secretary Lhousakuolie Metha said that during its visit on May 25, to borders of Assam and Northern Angami villages, particularly the defence road connecting Bokajan-New Ralan to Zero Point Botsa via Zezou and NEC road Niuland to 10th Mile via Zhadima village, it was observed that there was no proper police check gate and medical screening point.
It also cited reports of non-locals, from Bokajan, entering Nagaland without the consent of the village councils. NAPO said it, therefore, held a meeting with the village councils, youth organisations and student bodies of Phekeriikrema village, Zezou Village and Zhadima village along with the president of Northern Angami Youth Organisation to discuss the immediate measures such as setting up check points in order to stop the illegal entry of non-locals.
