A body of five non-backward Naga tribes has criticised the formation of a commission to review the job reservation policy for 10 backward tribes in Nagaland.
On Wednesday (August 6, 2025), the State Cabinet approved the constitution of a seven-member Job Reservation Commission to be headed by a retired IAS officer of the Nagaland cadre. An official statement said the committee would be composed of three officers and a member each from the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO), Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC), and Tenyimi Union Nagaland (TUN).

The Committee on Review of Reservation Policy (CoRRP) of the five tribes — Angami, Ao, Lotha, Rengma, and Sumi — criticised the outcome of the Cabinet meeting on the backward tribe reservation issue as a repetition of the meeting on June 12.
