Decisions related to exercise should not lead to harassment, he says
GUWAHATI: Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio has allayed fears over an exercise akin to Assam’s National Register of Citizens allegedly designed to leave out certain Nagas and non-Nagas for their eventual eviction or denial of opportunities. He also said the State lost substantial grants under the Finance Commission for failing to hold the urban local body (ULB) polls in 2018 with 33% reservation for women. The Nagaland government, through a notification on June 29, 2019, decided to update the Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN) with December 1, 1963, as the cut-off date for the inclusion of people in it. The exercise was put on hold after opposition from various quarters.
