The 5 Tribes Committee on Review of Reservation Policy (CoRRP) has renewed its call for the Nagaland State Government to take decisive action on the contentious issue of job and educational reservation, expressing frustration over the government’s continued inaction.
In a press release issued Sunday, the CoRRP demanded that the current Reservation Policy either be scrapped or that the unreserved quota be allocated to the five tribes it represents. The committee claimed these demands were conveyed during a meeting with state officials on June 3, 2025, but alleged that no official response or concrete progress has followed.“There has been no substantive progress or official communication in this regard,” the committee said, criticising the delay and lack of transparency.
The CoRRP also opposed the inclusion of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the proposed Reservation Policy review commission, citing concerns over neutrality and potential conflicts of interest. It insisted that the commission’s composition should remain unbiased and professionally sound. While remaining open to dialogue, the committee warned it may resort to democratic means of protest if the government fails to act within a reasonable timeframe. The release was jointly signed by Convenor Er Tesinlo Semy and Member Secretary GK Zhimomi.
