Women labourers collect coals extracted in and around Longtho Valley under Mokokchung District. In Nagaland, extraction of coal is rampantly carried out in many places, especially Mokokchung, Wokha, Dimapur, Mon, Longleng and Peren districts. It may be stated that the Nagaland Coal Policy (1st amendment), 2015 and the Nagaland Coal Mining Rules (1st amendment) were enforced by the Government of Nagaland in order to effectively control better revenue as well as give more benefits to the landowners.
