Nagaland has created a 3 new districts, Niuland, Tseminyu and Chumukedima.
Highlights:
Tseminyu, Niuland, and Chumoukedima are the three new districts proclaimed by the Nagaland government.
This comes less than a year after the state’s 12th district, Noklak, was established. Nagaland will now have 15 districts after the addition of the three new districts.
Niuland and Chumukedima have been formed out of Dimapur district, while the Tseminyu sub-division in Kohima district has been promoted to a district.
Despite requests for new districts from at least 11 tribes, the Cabinet could only consider three of them because some districts are Home to only one tribe and cannot be separated.
