Taking to X, chief minister also expressed happiness over meeting the office bearers of NSF. \u201cI laud the Federation for their dedication & playing a significant role towards the aspirations of the youth. Best wishes for a successful tenure,\u201d Rio said in a post on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the representation, NSF president Medovi Rhi and general secretary Chumben Khuvung stated that the Inner Line Permit (ILP) had been instrumental in regulating tourist flow and controlling the entry of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, NSF expressed regret that successive governments over the past several decades have struggled to execute the ILP diligently, leading to a surge in illicit activities that endangered unique identity, culture and demography of Nagas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The federation asserted that the exclusion of Dimapur district (erstwhile) from the ILP regime has \u201ccreated a perilous haven for illegal immigrants.\u201d It stated that Dimapur \u201cas a melting pot overrun by individuals with questionable identities\u201d posed a grave threat not only to Nagaland but also to the North Eastern hills. Therefore, the federation has requested for the chief minister\u2019s intervene and revoke the suspension order No.CON-3\/PAP\/65\/10 dated June 2, 2023, by bringing Dimapur district (erstwhile) under the ILP regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NSF also demanded establishment of ILP monitoring cells at Dimapur railway station, Dimapur Airport and all entry\/exit points to Nagaland state. Further, it sought stringent implementation of ILP regime in all district headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides, NSF has suggested launching extensive awareness campaigns to educate all communities residing in Nagaland and beyond about the mandatory requirement of the ILP for entry into the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the issue of \u201cbackdoor appointment\u201d, the federation stated that despite the state government\u2019s \u201ccommendable initiative\u201d of establishing the Nagaland Staff Selection Board (NSSB) there remained \u201ca prevalent issue of backdoor appointments\u201d within various government departments.
NSF stated that it had through RTI campaign uncovered numerous discrepancies that suggested a continuation of backdoor appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, NSF urged the chief minister to take decisive action to eliminate those backdoor appointments. It maintained that instituting stringent measures to ensure compliance with established recruitment protocols would not only reinforce the NSSB\u2019s efforts but also the federations\u2019 confidence in the government\u2019s commitment to justice and transparency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
