This latest incident highlights the volatile situation along the border regions, exacerbated by the unresolved territorial dispute that has lingered for years.
Exploiting the prolonged legal battle over the Assam-Nagaland border, which remains pending in the Supreme Court, Naga forces have been emboldened to pursue aggressive maneuvers along the border areas of Assam.

Local authorities in Assam have raised concerns over the incursion, emphasizing the need for swift and decisive action to safeguard the territorial integrity of the state. The intrusion by Naga forces has sparked fear and anxiety among residents of the affected areas, who fear the escalation of tensions and the potential for violence.
Efforts to resolve the Assam-Nagaland border dispute have been marred by legal complexities and historical grievances, with successive governments failing to find a lasting solution to the contentious issue. The lack of progress in resolving the dispute has only fueled tensions and provided fertile ground for further incursions and skirmishes along the border.

However, the situation remains tense, with both sides maintaining a heightened state of alertness amid the escalating tensions.
The fresh Naga incursion in Nazira’s Bihubar area serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for a comprehensive resolution to the Assam-Nagaland border dispute.
