Joint Committee on Prevention of Illegal Immigrants (JCPI), which discussed the issue arising out of the recommendations submitted to the Commission on RIIN at an emergency meeting held on October 1, 2019, has stated that since Nagaland GB Federation has been one of the founding members of JCPI the issue raised by Dimapur GB Sadar/Urban has been reviewed.
JCPI through its media cell stated that the assertion to “debar” the Dimapur GB Sadar/Urban in the RIIN exercise as “non-negotiable” was dropped provided only genuine Naga GBs from Nagaland should be empanelled by the district administration. JCPI said this was solely done with the intention that RIIN exercise was carried out without any loopholes.
Concerning its case study report, which inadvertently mentioned the whole of Dimapur GB Sadar/Urban areas, the JCPI has regretted the oversight into the nuances of the report. In the crucial process of identification of Nagaland indigenous inhabitants, JCPI has appealed to all GBs to extend cooperation.
