The Nagaland government is processing a proposal to establish a permanent police outpost along the Assam–Nagaland border, Deputy Chief Minister Yanthungo Patton told the state assembly on Thursday. Patton made the disclosure during the fifth day of the eighth session of the 14th Nagaland Legislative Assembly, indicating the plan is under official consideration though details remain limited.
The matter was raised in the House by MLA Achumbemo Kikon, who expressed concern over the situation along the inter-state boundary. Lawmakers discussed the issue during the session, prompting the deputy chief minister to confirm that the government has initiated steps toward a formal proposal for a permanent security presence.
Patton did not provide a specific timeline or exact site for the proposed outpost in his remarks reported to the House. His statement, as conveyed during the assembly proceedings, indicates the proposal is at the processing stage and subject to further administrative and operational decisions.
The development responds to concerns voiced in the legislative session and signals the state’s intent to pursue a more permanent policing arrangement along the Assam–Nagaland border. Further information, including approvals, staffing and implementation dates, will likely follow as the proposal moves through official channels.
