Railway Affected Landowners’ Association expresses dismay as NFR issues eviction notices

• DIMAPUR — In the wake of the ongoing dispute over railway land in Dimapur, the Railway Affected Landowners’ Association (RALOA) has expressed dismay at the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), Lumding Division, for issuing eviction notices to some of its members “defying the order” issued by the Guwahati High Court.
• 
  
• In a press statement, RALOA said this is happening against the backdrop of the Dimapur railway land issue raised by the Chief Minister, Dr. Neiphiu Rio, during the 14th session of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA), including consideration of land relocation. It also stated that, at the behest of RALOA, every effort is being made to find an amicable solution.
• 
  
• It said all individual landowners are informed to immediately report the matter to the association's office so that the issue can be addressed from the correct perspective by the association, together with the concerned authority.
