Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority (FNTA) has been established to provide decentralized governance for six eastern districts in Nagaland: Tuensang, Mon, Longleng, Kiphire, Noklak, and Shamator. The framework follows a tripartite agreement signed on February 5, 2026, between the Government of India, the Nagaland government, and the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO). Following the unanimous passage of the Revised FNTA Bill 2026 by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly in September, President Droupadi Murmu granted official assent to the bill. The authority is designed to devolve powers over 46 subjects to address regional neglect and developmental disparities, serving as an alternative to the ENPO’s long-standing demand for a separate state. Nagaland Governor Nand Kishore Yadav has emphasized that the agreement is a “significant milestone” for the region. He has highlighted the potential for economic growth in sectors such as agriculture, horticulture, handloom, and tourism, encouraging the adoption of modern technologies to drive prosperity in the newly designated districts. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-25: Presidential assent granted to Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority Bill President Droupadi Murmu has approved the FNTA Bill, creating an autonomous authority for six eastern Nagaland districts to enhance decentralized governance and regional development. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/presidential-assent-granted-to-frontier-nagaland-territorial-authority-bill ### 2026-10-09: Nagaland Governor highlights FNTA agreement for Eastern Nagaland development Nagaland Governor Nand Kishore Yadav praised the Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority agreement as a key milestone for inclusive development and regional stability in Eastern Nagaland. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nagaland-governor-highlights-fnta-agreement-for-eastern-nagaland-development --- Cite as: Establishment of Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority.
