Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is scheduled to visit Nagaland on January 6, is likely to meet state legislators and State BJP party leaders, sources said. Sources had told Nagaland Post that Shah will be arriving Dimapur from Imphal and hold meeting with state leaders before leaving for Delhi the same day.
Though Shah had reportedly assured the ENPO delegation during December 6 meeting that he would personally visit Eastern Nagaland by January 2023, it was not clear whether he would be meeting ENPO representatives.
Sources, however, said that Shah’s proposed visit to Eastern Nagaland this month would be finalized only after submission of a report by the three-member Home ministry committee on ‘Frontier Nagaland’ demand.
Meanwhile, according to reports, Amit Shah’s flight was diverted to Guwahati due to thick fog in Agartala on Wednesday due to poor visibility caused by thick fog.
The flight was diverted to Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport where it landed, ATC sources said.
Shah was scheduled to arrive at Agartala on Wednesday night and the next day, flag off two rath yatras in Tripura, where assembly polls are due early this year.
