Nagaland creates 3 new districts Niuland, Tseminyu, Chumukedima
Nagaland government has announced the creation of three new districts, namely Tseminyu, Niuland and Chumoukedima. This comes less than a year after the 12th district of the state—Noklak—was inaugurated. Now there are 15 districts in the northeastern state of Nagaland s declared by the state cabinet on Saturday 18 December. While the Tseminyu sub-division in Kohima district has been upgraded to a district, Niuland and Chumukedima have been carved out of Dimapur district.
Earlier the state had a total of 12 districts namely Kohima, Dimapur, Mon, Kiphire, Noklak, Tuensang Wokha, Phek, Zunheboto, Mokochung and Longleng.
Though there were demands from at least 11 tribes for the creation of new districts, the Cabinet could consider only three of them as some districts are inhabited by only one tribe and those cannot be divided.
