In light of an ongoing eviction drive against illegal immigrants being carried out by the Government of Assam, the Deputy Commissioner of Dimapur, Dr. Tinojongshi Chang, has issued an order directing all village councils, wards, and colonies under Dimapur district to remain vigilant and alert for any possible influx of displaced individuals.
The order, issued pursuant to the Commissioner of Nagaland’s Advisory No. C/NL/PO-ONLINE/2023-55 dated 21st July 2025, warns that there is a risk of illegal immigrants attempting to cross into Nagaland due to the eviction operations in neighbouring Assam.
The DC has instructed that any unusual movement or migration be immediately reported to the District Administration and Police authorities.
