CABINET DIRECTS DGP AND COMMISSIONER TO CURB ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES IN THE STATE

In the wake of the indefinite shutter down Dimapur called by the DCCI against the illegal and rampant taxes imposed upon the business community particularly in Dimapur by various NNPGs, the State Government took serious note of the issue and discussed in the Cabinet meeting held on 26/04/2024.

The Cabinet conveyed its decision to direct the Director General of Police and Commissioner, Nagaland to immediately inform the various Naga political groups through the CFMG/CFSB that illegal activities such as extortion and kidnapping will be dealt as per law and culprits will be booked under NSA and detained outside the State.

Further, the Cabinet also directed the Director General of Police to send additional forces immediately to Dimapur to curb such illegal activities. It was also decided by the Cabinet to provide additional required resources to the law enforcing agencies for increased mobility and for operationalizing/increasing of CCTVs.

The State Police Department, in this connection, has requested that all the NNPGs may be advised about the complete and absolute adherence to Ceasefire Ground Rules and to confine their cadres to their designated camps and supervisory offices in letter and in spirit. The Supervisory Offices/Cells may be discontinued from being used to summon civilians/businessman to their office for criminal intimidation, extortion, ransom besides other crimes.

The unauthorized and illegal activities undertaken by the NNPGs under the garb of ceasefire with Government of India and violation of CFGRs have created unrest among the public and business community in the State, a communiqué by the State Police stated. It further requested the Chairman, CFMG/CFSB to advice the NNPGs to adhere to laid down Ceasefire Ground Rules, and do not vitiate the law and order situation in the State.
