The DDCF reiterated its appeal to the State government to listen to the voice of the masses.
It appreciated the appointment of a new additional deputy commissioner in the new DC complex, saying it is a sign of development and growth of the district which will largely relieve the burden of the people in the Chumukedima circle of Dimapur district.

It urged the government to pave ways for the conversion of non-cadastral land into cadastral survey land, especially in the town and municipal areas, so that it will be free for development in the near future.
The DDCF also reiterated its appeal to the government to deal with the inter-district boundary issue between Peren and Dimapur districts with sensitively and without any bias.
“It is our deep concern that all the stakeholders – affected villages, civil society organisations CSOs and administration – should be taken on board while settling the dispute for a permanent settlement,” the DDCF said in a statement.
