Kohima: The Nagaland government reiterated its commitment to preventing and curbing unauthorised collection of money in various forms by unions, associations, NGOs, or any other private and community organisations.
A recent directive issued by the government shared its commitment to address illegal collections on state highways, national highways, and marketplaces.
The government order recounted the Home Department’s Order No. CON-1/G/41/2011 dated May 31, 2012, which banned the unauthorised collection of money by unions, NGOs, and other groups.
Additionally, the Notification No. CON-1/G/41/2011 dated May 19, 2022, also prohibited the erection and operation of intra-state check gates and any unauthorised collections at interstate check gates by associations, groups, or private individuals.
