In an order, Sophie said in pursuance of the state government’s directive dated September 12, 2024, citing concerns over potential disturbances to public order, over the yatra, the prohibition has been further reinforced by the provisions contained in para (1) (a) (i) of Article 371(A) of the Constitution of India, which grants special safeguards to Nagaland, particularly in matters related to religious and social practices.
