Kohima — During the Eighth Session of the 14th Nagaland Legislative Assembly on Monday, March 9, 2026, legislators raised concerns that unresolved land disputes could hinder the Rs 283-crore modernisation of Dimapur Railway Station under the Centre’s Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. The matter was specifically brought up by MLA Nuklutoshi, who highlighted the potential for land-related conflicts to delay project implementation.
Lawmakers at the session stressed the urgent need to settle ownership and boundary issues affecting land earmarked for the station upgrade. They warned that without timely resolution, key project activities — including land acquisition, construction scheduling and site preparation — could be disrupted, putting the overall timeline at risk.
The Dimapur Railway Station modernisation is part of the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, a government initiative to redevelop and improve passenger amenities at railway stations. Assembly members urged coordination among state authorities, local stakeholders and railway officials to fast-track negotiations and clear legal or administrative hurdles.
The discussion underscored the broader challenge of infrastructure delivery in areas where land rights are contested, with legislators calling for prompt, transparent action to ensure the Rs 283-crore project proceeds as planned. Reported by EastMojo.
