Nagaland Police notifies
KOHIMA, Aug 22: The Nagaland Police Department has asked its officers and personnel not to circulate unauthorised confidential or restricted and operational messages on non-police WhatsApp groups and other social media platforms.

The Nagaland Police said unauthorised circulation of confidential and operational information is “serious misconduct and may attract disciplinary measures and other legal actions.”
It also said that "unauthorised circulation, sharing, or leaking of sensitive information may alert potential criminals and anti-social elements and defeat the purpose of police actions".
All unit commanders and other senior officers have been asked to sensitise all ranks and files under their command to handle professional and official communication with much care.
