Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority to open new avenues in eastern part of state: Guv Yadav

Dimapur, Oct 8 (UNI) Nagaland Governor Nand Kishore Yadav on Thursday said the historic agreement for the creation of the Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority (FNTA), comprising six districts of eastern Nagaland, would open new avenues for inclusive development, stronger institutions, better infrastructure and greater opportunities for the people of the region.
The agreement was signed between the Eastern Nagaland People's Organisation (ENPO), the Centre and the Nagaland government in New Delhi on February 5. The Nagaland assembly passed the FNTA Bill 2026 on September 3, incorporating new administrative arrangements, fulfilling a long-standing aspiration for greater development and empowerment in eastern Nagaland.
Yadav described the agreement as an important milestone for eastern Nagaland, reflecting the importance of dialogue, mutual understanding and democratic engagement in addressing the aspirations and developmental needs of the people.
He said this at an interactive session with the department officials and civil societies at Tuensang DC's conference hall during his visit to the district, which falls under eastern Nagaland.
Stating that Tuensang occupies a very important place in the history of Nagaland, Yadav said people of the district have always demonstrated remarkable courage, resilience, hard work and community spirit despite geographical and infrastructural challenges.
Emphasising that his visit to the district was important, he said governance becomes more meaningful when constitutional institutions remain connected with the people at the grassroots level.
Yadav called for collective participation and cooperation between the government and the people for good governance and equitable development in the district.
