Nagaland MP (Lok Sabha) S Supongmeren Jamir on Wednesday raised concerns over the condition of Nagaland’s Village Guards during the ongoing second leg of the Parliament Budget Session 2025, urging the Union Home Minister to intervene.

Highlighting the crucial role played by the Village Guards in safeguarding 120 villages along the Indo-Myanmar border across six districts—Mon, Tuensang, Kiphire, Meluri, Noklak, and Longleng—Jamir stated that the force had been neglected by both the State Government and the Ministry of Home Affairs since its inception in 1957.

He pointed out that despite their responsibilities, Village Guards currently receive a meager monthly salary of Rs 3,000, an annual clothing allowance of Rs 100, and a monthly ration allowance of Rs 60. Calling the financial neglect unacceptable, the MP urged the government to revamp and strengthen the force.

Instead of focusing on border fencing and restricting free movement, Jamir advocated for deploying and empowering Village Guards along the border to ensure security while preserving the traditional ties of communities living in the region.
