102‑year‑old to reopen sealed Forest Department offices after CCYO protest ends in Nagaland

Nagaland authorities announced that a 102‑year‑old individual will physically unlock the Forest Department offices that were sealed during a recent protest by the CCYO. The decision comes as the protest, which had halted the department’s operations, was officially called off earlier this week. Officials said the symbolic act underscores the community’s desire to move past the standoff and resume normal administrative functions. The sealed offices are expected to be opened later today, allowing forest officials to resume work on ongoing conservation and management projects. No further details about the identity of the senior citizen or the exact timeline were provided.
