Apex Naga students' body cautions illegal immigrants

Kohima, September 13 : The apex Naga students' body, the Naga Students' Federation (NSF) has expressed concern over the 'unchecked' influx of illegal immigrants, who are entering Nagaland in 'hundreds and thousands'.

This dubious contradiction is further compounded by various state agencies creating safe passage for immigrants to enter the Naga socio-fibre taking the advantage of the open boundaries in the pretext of 'law and order', it stated.

The NSF cautioned that these immigrants must not be used against the interest and aspiration of Naga people.

Stating that proper check has become a matter of great concern for the Nagas as it tantamount to demographic invasion from across the border, the NSF stated that this menace is having direct impact on the Naga society in all aspect, be it social, economic or political, threatening the very fabric and existence of the Nagas as a people.

It further stated that the inability and lackadaisical attitude to evolve proper mechanism to check the illegal influx is instigating the problem.

It added that despite the dearth and limitation faced by the Federation, it has been organizing seminars and physically checking the illegal immigrants with the federating units.

It called upon every Naga citizen to cooperate with its federating units in weeding out these social evil practices of the illegal immigrants from the state.
