Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 19 (IANS) A group of students from Nagaland has embarked on a 10-day Seema Darshan Tour organised by the Assam Rifles under the Army's Spear Corps as part of Operation Sadbhavna, an initiative aimed at exposing youth from remote regions to the country's cultural diversity and strategic frontier areas. Such tours are part of Operation Sadbhavna, through which youngsters from remote areas get an opportunity to visit other parts of the country to learn more about India's rich and diverse culture. It also provides the children a chance to interact with personnel of the defence forces and learn more about their role in defending the country. The present batch includes 20 students and two teachers from the Government Higher Secondary School, Rusoma, in Kohima, Nagaland. They will be visiting Guwahati, Tenga, Tawang and Tezpur before returning to Kohima on September 28. This tour will give the young minds first-hand insight into India's rich diversity, frontier regions and the role of security forces in safeguarding the nation, the Spear Corps has posted on X. Both Tenga and Tawang are in Arunachal Pradesh and play a key role in the defence of India's northern border. At the same time, both places have a rich culture. Tezpur, in Assam, is also of immense strategic importance. It has the headquarters of the Army's IV Corps (Gajraj Corps) and also houses an Indian Air Force fighter base that operates frontline aircraft like the Su-30 MKI. This is the second such tour for the youth in Nagaland this year. In March, 20 students and three teachers from Bhandari in the Wokha district of Nagaland had travelled to Guwahati and Kolkata to explore important educational institutions and historical landmarks. In 2025, students and teachers from the PM Shri Government High School, Yangphi, in the Kiphire district of Nagaland were taken to Delhi and Agra.

Nagaland plans live entertainment economy framework to boost jobs, tourism
Digital Desk | Kohima, Sep 16 (IANS) The Nagaland government is working on a Live Entertainment Economy framework aimed at making the sector a potential driver of economic growth, employment generation and tourism promotion in the state, an official said. A meeting to discuss the development of the framework was held at the Directorate of Information and Public Relations here on Tuesday under the chairmanship of Information and Public Relations Secretary, Orenthung Lotha. Lotha highlighted the growing importance of the live entertainment sector and said it should not be viewed merely as an avenue for cultural expression and recreation but as a viable economic sector capable of generating revenue, creating employment and entrepreneurship and stimulating allied industries. He stressed the need to monetise events in the state and develop mechanisms through which large-scale events could generate sustainable economic returns for local stakeholders as well as contribute to the state's economy. The Secretary said Nagaland has considerable strengths in its rich cultural heritage, musical talent, creative community and enthusiastic youth, which could provide a strong foundation for developing a robust live entertainment ecosystem. He also emphasised the importance of inter-departmental coordination and collaboration, saying that hosting major national and international events would require the collective efforts of various government departments and other stakeholders. Information and Public Relations Director Dzuvinuo Theunuo expressed appreciation for the involvement of LiveNow in developing the framework for the state. LiveNow Director Atsunglir Jamir made a presentation outlining the initial study, research findings and observations on the existing landscape and potential of the live entertainment sector in Nagaland. Jamir highlighted the potential of the sector to emerge as an important contributor to the state's economy, particularly through skill development, employment generation, entrepreneurship and tourism promotion. He said a vibrant live entertainment ecosystem could create new opportunities for local artists, performers, event professionals, technicians, production crews and other associated service providers, thereby generating employment and livelihood opportunities for the youth. Jamir also stressed the need to strengthen and upgrade existing infrastructure and facilities in Nagaland to enable the state to host events of national and international standards. Improved infrastructure, he said, would enhance Nagaland's capacity to attract major events and help position the state as a destination for entertainment, cultural and experiential tourism. The LiveNow team identified several short-term objectives, including positioning Nagaland as an entertainment hub in the Northeast, attracting major national and international events and developing Nagaland Live as a distinctive brand representing the state's live entertainment ecosystem. The meeting concluded with discussions on the preliminary findings and recommendations of the inception study, with emphasis on further consultations with relevant stakeholders and line departments to develop a comprehensive and actionable Live Entertainment Economy Framework. LiveNow has been appointed as the consultant for developing the framework. The company has more than a decade of experience in the live entertainment sector and will assist the state in formulating a strategic framework based on Nagaland's cultural and economic context.

Nine die after consuming suspected spurious liquor in Nagaland
Digital Desk | Kohima, Sep 13 (IANS) At least nine people, including three members of a family, died at the Civil Hospital in Nagaland's Tuensang district over the past three days after allegedly consuming suspected spurious liquor, prompting the state police to issue a red alert and urge people to refrain from consuming liquor obtained from unknown or unauthorised sources, officials said on Sunday. Police officials said that the victims reportedly complained of breathlessness after consuming the suspected adulterated liquor and subsequently died. Though the circumstances leading to the deaths are yet to be officially ascertained, Nagaland Director General of Police (DGP) Rupin Sharma said that the victims reportedly succumbed to what is suspected to be spurious liquor. An official release said that a total of nine deaths were reported in Tuensang Town and Chendang Saddle on September 10 and 11. Based on the information presently available, all the deaths have a direct or indirect circumstantial linkage with alcohol consumption and are being investigated accordingly, it said. According to the statement, one person, reportedly a family member of the liquor seller, died by hanging, and the circumstances surrounding the death are being investigated separately as a suspected case of suicide. Tuensang police received reports on Saturday regarding a pattern of deaths involving people who had been admitted to Tuensang Civil Hospital. Preliminary enquiries revealed that in most of the cases, the deceased had reportedly consumed liquor before developing symptoms such as blurred vision, severe headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. The police said that although consumption of spurious or adulterated liquor is suspected to be a possible cause of the deaths, this cannot be scientifically and conclusively established at this stage. Scientific and forensic procedures will be undertaken as part of the investigation. The statement also said that post-mortem examinations were not conducted in most of the cases as the mortal remains had already been taken for funerals before the police became aware of the pattern of deaths. Accordingly, the present assessment is based on the available medical records, preliminary enquiries and other information collected during the investigation, the statement said. The Tuensang police are conducting a thorough investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the deaths, identify the source and nature of the liquor consumed, and determine whether any person or persons may be responsible for the incident. Meanwhile, it was also learnt that among those who lost their lives were three members of a family from whose premises the liquor was reportedly purchased by some of the deceased persons. Further scientific and medical examinations are being undertaken in coordination with all the authorities concerned to establish the exact cause of the deaths and determine the nature of the liquor consumed. Police conducted search and raid operations throughout Tuensang Town and in the Chendang Saddle area to identify and seize suspected unauthorised, spurious or adulterated liquor. During these operations, approximately 470 bottles of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and beer cans were seized from different locations, officials said. Widespread information dissemination and public awareness efforts have also been undertaken to alert people about the potential risks associated with consuming liquor obtained from unknown, unauthorised or suspected adulterated sources, a police official said.
