Nagaland on Alert as Assam Prepares for Border Eviction
The government of Nagaland is worried about people from Assam possibly coming into their state.

Nagaland is telling its officials to watch out for these people and make sure everything stays peaceful.
Assam officials are coordinating with Nagaland to ensure the eviction goes smoothly.
The chief minister of Assam has said that these evictions will continue despite any problems.
