NSF to Nagaland govt: Make landlord-tenant registration must
Kohima: The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) has urged the Nagaland govt to implement a mandatory landlord-tenant registration system to bridge enforcement gaps in the Inner Line Permit (ILP) mechanism. The ILP is a travel document required by outsiders, including people from other states of the country, to visit Nagaland and other states where it is in force. The NSF, an apex body of youth and students in the state, constituted the Inner Line Regulation Committee (ILRC) in March in response to the increasing inflow of illegal immigrants. In a letter to Nagaland chief secretary, ILRC chairman Senchumo NSN Lotha, NSF vice president Mteisuding, and ILRC member secretary Seve R Vadeo said the lack of monitoring of tenants in informal and private accommodations undermines the effectiveness of the ILP regime, especially in urban areas.

Nagaland govt urged to launch mandatory landlord-tenant registration system for ILP enforcement
Kohima, The Naga Students' Federation has urged the Nagaland government to implement a mandatory landlord-tenant registration system to bridge enforcement gaps in the Inner Line Permit mechanism. Nagaland govt urged to launch mandatory landlord-tenant registration system for ILP enforcement The ILP is a travel document required by outsiders, including people from other states of the country, to visit Nagaland and other states where it is in force. The NSF, an apex body of youth and students in the state, constituted the Inner Line Regulation Committee in March in response to the increasing inflow of illegal immigrants, which it said poses a severe risk to the Naga identity, culture, and territorial rights. In a letter to the of Nagaland chief secretary, ILRC Chairman Senchumo NSN Lotha, NSF Vice President Mteisuding, and ILRC Member Secretary Seve R Vadeo said that the lack of monitoring of tenants in informal and private accommodations undermines the effectiveness of the ILP regime, especially in urban and peri-urban areas. 'Despite the digitisation of ILP, there are serious loopholes as ILP-holders or defaulters can easily settle unnoticed in rental spaces. A landlord-tenant registry would hold property owners accountable while equipping enforcement agencies with updated databases of non-local residents,' the letter stated. They proposed that all landlords across Nagaland be mandated to register their tenants—particularly non-indigenous persons—with the nearest police station, municipal authority, or through a designated online portal. This requirement, they said, must apply not only to formal accommodations but also to shanties, temporary shelters, makeshift rooms, and other informal housing units, which are often the preferred option for unauthorised settlers in urban and semi-urban areas. To ensure compliance, the proposed system also called for the establishment of strong penal provisions for landlords who fail to register their tenants, conceal information, or knowingly provide shelter to individuals without valid ILPs. Furthermore, the ILRC NSF stressed the importance of integrating this landlord-tenant registry with Nagaland's existing online ILP system, so that enforcement agencies can carry out real-time verification and monitoring of non-local individuals staying within the state. Calling for urgent action, the NSF said the representation comes in the wake of Assam's ongoing eviction drive, which has raised concerns about a potential spillover of displaced or undocumented individuals into Nagaland's border districts. The ILRC NSF highlighted the need for urgent action to prevent unauthorised settlements and protect the state's demographic integrity. In the letter, the organisation cited practices in other states such as Mizoram's sponsor tracking model, Assam's police-verified tenant system, and similar frameworks in Maharashtra, Delhi and Karnataka.

Students' group urges enforcement of inner line rule in Nagaland
Dimapur: Naga Students' Federation (NSF) on Tuesday reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the full implementation of the inner line regulation (ILR) provisions in Nagaland, pledging to take all necessary measures to achieve this goal. In a reminder letter to the Nagaland chief secretary, NSF's inner line regulation commission chairperson Senchumo NSN Lotha, member secretary Seve R Vadeo, and NSF vice-president Mteisuding referenced their April 4 meeting with the chief secretary. The NSF said during the meeting, a 10-point memorandum was submitted, outlining critical issues related to the stringent enforcement of ILR in the state. The federation urged the chief secretary to provide an update on actions taken regarding the memorandum at the earliest. While maintaining that it does not seek confrontation with the govt, the NSF emphasised that the current administration should recognise the implications of lax ILR enforcement. The organisation argued that stringent ILR implementation is vital for the socio-economic security of the Naga people. The NSF affirmed its commitment to enduring any hardship necessary to safeguard this security, particularly for future generations of Nagas. Additionally, it expressed willingness to fully cooperate with the government if required.
