DIMAPUR: Nagaland chief secretary J Alam on Wednesday said out of 34 check gates in the state, 21 have been closed and only 13 inter-state ones are operating at the moment.
Alam, along with Nagaland DGP T John Longkumer and home commissioner Abhijit Sinha held a press conference in Kohima to give an overview on the issue of closing the check gates across the state.
On May 19, the Nagaland government ordered immediate closure of all police and other check gates, except the existing inter-state ones, to combat illegal collection of money from the vehicles at the check gates and other locations in the state.
