History
editCapi was founded in 1988 by Vikesel Neikha (publisher) and R. Solhou (editor). The newspaper was issued weekly, biweekly and tri-weekly.[2]
In 1997, the newspaper was relaunched as a daily newspaper. Capi shifted from manual print to offset printing in 2003.[3]
On 16 November 2015, Capi published its front page in blank along with four other state newspapers—Eastern Mirror, The Morung Express, Nagaland Page and Tir Yimyim to protest against a diktat from the Assam Rifles. The Assam Rifles in a letter to the editors in October had ordered the editors to stop covering news related to the rebel group—National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Khaplang (NSCN-K).[4][5]
