flag Tribal leaders in Nagaland oppose central land acquisition law, favoring state law to protect land rights and autonomy.

flag On December 8, 2025, tribal leaders and civil society groups in Dimapur, Nagaland, reaffirmed their opposition to the central government’s push to apply the National Highways Act, 1956, for land acquisition, opting instead to maintain the state’s Nagaland Land (Requisition and Acquisition) Act, 1965. flag They cited constitutional protections under Article 371A and concerns over preserving local land rights and autonomy. flag The state has proposed a compromise using the 1965 law for acquisition but applying the RFCTLARR Act, 2013, for compensation, though the central government has not yet responded. flag The standoff continues to delay national highway projects like NH 202.
