koHIMA, JulY 15 (MexN): The Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has called upon the Nagaland state government to “come out clear” on how the present Nagaland Special Development Zones (NSDZ) concept can be implemented “without upsetting Article 371(A) and other protective laws of the land.” A press note from NTC Acting President, Lendinoktang Ao and I&P Secretary, ThejaTherieh termed that Nagaland Chief Minister’s statement on the NSDZs, dated July 11, as “amusing and double talk.” The NTC asserted that its apprehensions on the NSDZs were raised based on its “findings in the concept note and Assembly resolution available in the public domain and nothing outside the purview of the above documents.” It stated that the Nagaland CM’s “justifications contained ambiguity and invites more questions...” The NTC acknowledged that the state government is the legal custodian of fundamental rights and privileges enshrined in the constitution; however it viewed the CM’s statements as “self-contradictory and misleading.” The NTC made it clear that the “principle conGoalkeeper Manuel Neuer is airborne during a fan party after the arrival of the German cept” of the NLA resolunational soccer team in Berlin Tuesday, July 15.

• Asserts development can be ushered without ‘infringing our basic laws’ • Urges leaders to ‘stop selfdestructive indulgences’ curving out cadastral areas into zones with a view to parcel out for investors and outsiders for permanent settlement in the State of Nagaland to facilitate development and urbanization.” It further censured what it alleged as the “approach of the state machineries who are quietly sent out to obtain permissions (NOC) from the land owners even before any blue print or technical specifications are prepared for the project.” It observed that the proposal in the present form “is a total sell out and devoid of any material that will benefit the sons of the soil.” It asserted that development or urbanization can be ushered into the state “without infringing our basic laws that protect and preserve our fragile existence and identity.” The NTC reminded that section 10(iv) of the NSDZPs concept note states that “this will entail the relaxation of the existing system of land ownership and tenure systems that are largely tribal in nature”. It further cited section 10(v), which states: “in
such NSDZs the ILP (Inner Line Permit) system based on BEFR (Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation of 1873) need to be relaxed.” “Baring on those conditions, the Nagaland legislative Assembly (NLA) had adopted its resolution for its implementation on March 24, 2013,” informed the NTC. However, it stated that the CM’s continuous assertion that “there is never any attempt to dilute the provisions of Article 371(A) is more ambiguous than convincing.” “The hidden agenda lies in the liberalised entry by removing all protective laws such as ILP and land holding systems and allowing free access to investors and outsiders for permanent settlement giving legitimacy of rights and privileges enjoyed by the indigenous citizens of the state,” the NTC said. The NTC asserted that Naga people are “protected from external aggressions and exploitations under Article 371A and the land and its natural resources belong to the indigenous people of the State.” It further said that the Nagaland Land revenue act 1978 prohib-
its transfer of land to any person other than the indigenous people of the state and that any person who acquires, obtains or purchases land from the indigenous people of the state of Nagaland, if not an indigenous citizen, cannot register the land in their name as legal owner of the land. Therefore, it stated that lands in the possession of any person other than the indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland are illegal. It further lamented that the state leaders have “gradually reduced the welfare state to a mere money making device... and yet prepared itself to squeeze out all available tangible resources and benefits due to the people...” The NTC urged leaders in the state to “immediately stop” what it termed as “self-destructive indulgences and policies and return to meaningful engagements to serve and deliver in keeping with the mandate of the people.” The NTC called upon the leaders to realise the importance of their collective responsibilities and to uphold the mandate of the people and deliver dutifully. It appealed for all “rightful” citizens to rise above party, group or community levels and take responsibilities to “protect, preserve and promote what rightfully belongs to you.”
