DIMAPUR — The Konyak Union (KU) has appealed to the Director General of Police (DGP), Nagaland, to decentralise the oral interviews for the General Duty (GD) police recruitment from Dimapur to the respective district headquarters.
In a representation addressed to the DGP on Wednesday, the KU appreciated the department for conducting the recruitment of GD constables in a “transparent and equitable manner”. However, it highlighted the challenges faced by aspirants from remote and economically underprivileged regions, particularly Mon district.
The union stated that a significant number of candidates originate from far-flung rural areas. “Requiring them to appear for oral interviews at Dimapur places an undue financial burden upon them, owing to exorbitant transportation costs, extended travel durations, and unavoidable accommodation expenses,” the KU stated.

It added that in many instances, aspirants are compelled either to incur debt or to abstain from the recruitment process.
The KU further pointed out that the “limited availability of lodging facilities coupled with severe overcrowding during recruitment periods causes immense inconvenience and distress”.
It argued that decentralising the interview process to district headquarters would alleviate these difficulties, ensure equal access, reduce financial strain, and encourage broader participation.
The union solicited the DGP's consideration of the request in the “larger interest of justice, accessibility, and equitable opportunity for all aspirants”.
