Nagaland to check migrants from Assam

Kohima: Nagaland is set to take all preventive measures against influx of illegal immigrants from Assam due to the National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise in that state from July 31.
According to an official report this was decided at a meeting of the Home and Police departments under the chairmanship of Nagaland chief secretary Temjen Toy. He stated that the Government of Nagaland is contemplating to carry out exercise on enrolment under NRC.
The preventive measure to be undertaken by the Nagaland police is deploying additional forces to the border areas to check and prevent influx of the illegal immigrants.
The report said, additional Indian Reserve Battalion units are being deployed and flying squads are to be sent. The Government is also writing to the village councils to be vigilant and not to allow the illegal immigrants to enter their jurisdictions or to employ them in any manner.
