Nagaland puts police recruitment for four non-Naga tribes on hold

Kohima, Oct 7 (UNI) The Nagaland government has put on hold the recruitment process for police constable posts earmarked for the four non-Naga tribes - Garos, Kacharis, Mikirs (Karbis) and Kukis until the completion of an enumeration exercise meant to determine the eligibility of members of these tribes as indigenous inhabitants of the state.
According to the state home department today, the Constitution (Nagaland) Scheduled Tribes Order, 1970, recognises that apart from the Naga tribes, these four non-Naga communities are also Scheduled Tribes of Nagaland, provided they are residents of the state. The order acknowledges the presence of these tribes, who had been inhabiting Nagaland prior to its creation on December 1, 1963.
The home department pointed out that since these tribes also reside in other northeastern states, many of which share borders with Nagaland, cases of migration into Nagaland after statehood cannot be ruled out.
