Nagaland opposes revival of Protected Area Regime

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio has voiced his strong opposition to the re-imposition of the Protected Area Regime (PAR), arguing that the state's peaceful environment and growing tourism sector should exempt it from such travel restrictions. Rio revealed that the state government is actively pursuing a review of the decision.

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio has expressed strong opposition to the re-imposition of the Protected Area Regime (PAR) in the state, arguing that Nagaland’s peaceful environment, low crime rate, women’s safety, and thriving tourism sector should qualify it for exemption from such restrictions. Speaking at the Angami Baptist Church Council (ABCC) Krodi Kehou event in Kohima, Rio emphasized that Nagaland’s relative tranquility and significant tourist influx make it an inappropriate candidate for the stringent travel restrictions under the PAR.

In his address, Rio shared that he had raised the matter with the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), but the Centre had not yet responded to his concerns. The Chief Minister revealed that the Nagaland Cabinet had met to discuss the re-imposition of the PAR, following the Ministry of Home Affairs’ (MHA) announcement on December 18, which also affected Manipur and Mizoram. Rio indicated that the state would formally appeal for a review of the decision.

Rio called on tribal bodies and the general public to unite in opposing the decision, highlighting the importance of collective action. He noted that while the state has made progress, Nagaland continues to face the stigma of being labeled a “disturbed area,” keeping the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in force. He also referenced the state’s unresolved issues, saying that past wounds have not yet healed. Under the re-imposed PAR, foreign nationals wishing to visit Nagaland, along with other affected states, are required to obtain Protected Area Permits (PAP), which is seen as an additional burden on tourism and local communities.

In a related development, the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has also voiced strong opposition to the re-imposition of the PAR, fearing that it could isolate the state and hinder its development. Khriedi Theunuo, the Working President of the NPCC, expressed concerns that the re-imposition could have far-reaching negative consequences for Nagaland, particularly in terms of its economy, tourism, and connectivity with the rest of India. The NPCC has pledged to continue pressing the issue with the central government, hoping for a favorable outcome.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
