Nagaland Cabinet to recommend formation of Frontier Nagaland Territory to Centre

The Nagaland Cabinet has approved the ENPO’s demand for a separate territorial entity to be forwarded to the Centre, tentatively named the Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority (FNTA). The state government is supporting this request under Article 371(A) of the Constitution of India, ensuring that the proposed FNTA remains within Nagaland’s jurisdiction. The proposal includes financial oversight by the governor, with funding sourced from the Centre. The ENPO’s demand stems from years of perceived neglect, with support growing ahead of Nagaland’s upcoming Statehood Day. With the state’s endorsement now heading to the Centre, the fate of the FNTA lies in the hands of the central government.
