ONGC Halts Golaghat Operations Amid Naga Miscreant Threats

ONGC suspended drilling operations in Golaghat’s Sarupathar, Assam-Nagaland border, due to extortion demands by Naga miscreants. The halt affects local employment and has caused concern among villagers.

Reports of miscreant activities, including encroachments and threats, have escalated tensions. Local leaders urge the government to intervene, resolve border disputes, and protect livelihoods. Nagaland’s Chief Minister recently suggested a 50-50 oil royalty split for disputed areas.
