Abstract
The most important innovation that the British made for the consolidation of their administration in the Naga Hills was the introduction of better means of communication. In pre-colonial period, modern road system was completely absent in the entire Naga Hills District. The only means of communication was the age -old foot paths and trans-district tracks which connect the district with Cachar, Sibsagar, Manipur and the eastern regions. These foot paths were not constructed by any body but occurred as a result of occasional use. Naturally they were narrow and during monsoon used to get almost covered by overgrowth.
