The Nagaland Legislative Assembly on the Day 3 of Assembly 2nd session adopted a resolution on the Forest (Conservation) Amendment Act 2023. Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, C. L John moved the eleven-point resolution on the floor of the House on the third day of the session. The resolution stated that the Parliament of India enacted The Forest (Conservation) Amendment Act, 2023 and it essentially deals with land and its resources (forests). It said that Article 371(A) of the Constitution provides provision for ownership and transfer of land and its resources. However, the above exempted area of 100 kilometres from international borders- will cover most parts of Nagaland where the ownership of most of the forest lands vests with tribal communities. The resolution said that a consultative meeting with various stakeholders on the subject of Forest (Conservation) Amendment Act, 2023 was held on 1st September, where the representatives of the various Naga Tribal Hohos/Organisations expressed their strong objection to the application of Section 1(A)(2) of Forest (Conservation) Amendment Act, 2023 in Nagaland, on the ground that it was likely to infringe on traditional ownership and usage of forest lands and its resources in the State of Nagaland. Therefore the resolution stated that, the 14th House of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly had resolved that the Forest (Conservation) Amendment Act 2023 would only be applicable to the State subjected to the constitutional guarantees provided in Article 371(A) of the Constitution of India
