Guwahati, Apr 2 : The Tarun Gogoi-led coalition government has renamed ethnically volatile and corruption-riddled North Cachar Hills district as Dima Hasao with immediate effect.
Dimasa groups argue the new name would go a long way in countering the Naga claim on the hill district. Large swathes of NC Hills fall in the Greater Nagaland map of Naga militant outfits.
