Kohima, Jul 7 : The State of Nagaland has been declared 'disturbed area' for a further period of one year with effect from June 30 under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958.
According to the Central publicity sources the decision was taken in a meeting of the Joint Monitoring Group held to oversee the implementation of Agreed Ground Rules on June 23 at New Delhi.
During the meeting it was unanimously decided to extend the agreement with NDFB (P) and DHD for a further period of six months up to December 31, Atul Kumar Mathur, as Director, North Eastern Police Academy, Shillong informed.
According to political observers this was a severe blow to the Nagaland Government's claim of being a peaceful state, inspite of unabated criminal activities in and around Dimapur and a set back to the Naga peace process, which is going on between the Union Government and the NSCN-IM.
