Nagaland Acting Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla reiterated the government’s dedication to resolving the longstanding Naga Political issue peacefully. He informed the state Assembly that the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) is actively reviewing the matter, involving Ministers, elected representatives, political party members, and MPs from the state. Additionally, a Sub-Committee has been formed to enhance the efforts.
During the 8th session of the 14th Nagaland Legislative Assembly, the Governor, in his first address since taking office in August 2025, disclosed that the Chief Minister and PAC Sub-Committee members met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi. They urged the Indian government to appoint an interlocutor to expedite the peace talks for a prompt and honorable resolution.
A significant development occurred with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement on February 5, 2026, establishing the Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority (FNTA) within the state. This agreement aims to promote fair and inclusive growth in Eastern Nagaland. Efforts are underway to set up an Interim Council for FNTA in consultation with stakeholders and enact special legislation for its formal establishment.
