A dispute at Old Ralan ensued on March 1 when, according to sources, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel entered Old Ralan, Wokha, and halted an IOCL consignment intended for the installation of a gas station in the morning.

Tensions escalated when members of the local Women’s Organization stepped in, protesting what they considered harassment by border forces and interference with a peaceful installation process.

Members of several civil society organisations from the Old Ralan area soon arrived to help calm the situation, which was eventually resolved.

Tsentsungo Ngullie, Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) of Old Ralan and Border Magistrate has informed that a meeting will be convened on Monday at the CRPF Rengma Pani to address the matter. Both border magistrates are expected to attend the meeting.
