KOHIMA — The Eastern Nagaland Legislators’ Union (ENLU) has opposed the proposed centralisation of constabulary oral Interview for Nagaland Police Recruitment–2026 at Dimapur, saying the move would impose undue hardship on candidates from remote and interior districts.
In a letter addressed to the director general of police, Nagaland, ENLU convenor and Minister for Health and Family Welfare P Paiwang Konyak said aspirants from far-flung areas, particularly eastern Nagaland, would face serious difficulties due to poor connectivity, lack of accommodation and financial constraints, making travel to a centralised venue burdensome.
The union stated that the proposal runs contrary to the principles of equitable access and inclusive recruitment. It stressed that the decentralised recruitment policy should be strictly followed and insisted that the oral interviews be conducted in the respective districts.
Any deviation from the decentralised process, the ENLU cautioned, would aggravate logistical and economic hardships and undermine fairness, transparency and equal opportunity in the recruitment process.
