Before the promulgation of the 'Constitution of lndia', the areas that were then called the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA), were administered under provisions of the Government of lndia Act 1935. On 26 January 1950, the Ministry of External Affairs took over administration of NEFA, relieving the Government of Assam. The Governor of Assam, was the representative of the President of lndia, under provisions of 6th Schedule (Part B) of the Constitution of lndia. The area was bifurcated into five Divisions; namely, Kameng Frontier Division, Subansiri Frontier Division, Lohit Frontier Division, Siang Frontier Division and Tirap Frontier Division.
