Overview

• On June 13, Dimapur and Chümoukedima district administrations cleared 24 structures—including RCC buildings, semi-pucca homes and thatched houses—across 17.9 acres of airport property.
• The eviction drive proceeded without resistance as most occupants vacated voluntarily under the oversight of tribal bodies, civil society organisations and village councils.
• Authorities have directed the Assam Rifles to relocate to ARTC Shokhuvi and plan separate actions for the CRPF camp still on airport land.
• Scrutiny of land records revealed overwrites that inflated a parcel from 27 to 47 bighas, indicating systematic manipulation.
• Nagaland Police have identified 31 accused individuals, including six public servants, under the new SIT probing illegal transactions linked to the encroachments.
