Nagaland NSF moves to sack 109 alleged backdoor appointees

The Nagaland State Front (NSF) has filed a petition seeking the dismissal of 109 persons it claims were placed in government posts through irregular, backdoor procedures. The request, submitted to the state administration, cites concerns over transparency and adherence to established recruitment norms. NSF officials say the alleged appointments undermine merit‑based selection and could affect the efficiency of public services. No response from the concerned department has been reported yet, and the matter is expected to be examined by senior officials. The development adds to ongoing scrutiny of appointment practices in the state.
