The flag is described as that of Nagaland in Smith
(1975), background light blue with a "rainbow" of red, yellow and dark blue; the six-pointed star have six lines like a rays. By my research (exchanges with Zing Zing Awungshi Shisha and the Catalan Committee of Solidarity with the South East Asian Peoples, and a friend that was in the region two years ago) the rays are not on the flags flown there, and the rainbow is red, yellow and green.

The Nagaland flag was adopted in 1947. At http://www.radicalparty.org/humanrights/naga_1.htm I found:

......Sometimes it looks as if they are chasing a rainbow, which runs across the flag that "the Federal government of Nagas" adopted when it declared independence on Aug. 14, 1947, after the British left.....
On March 22, 1956, the N.N.C. set up its government-the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) and hoisted the republic's flag.Jaume Ollé, 25 June 2001
At least six others variants are known; this can be because there existed two
factions: Isa-Muiwah faction and Kaplang faction.

NST, also known as Nagaland State Transport, is the public bus transport
service of Nagaland. NST was established in 1964. Since the region is surrounded
by hilly terrains, road transport is the only viable means of transport for
goods, services and people. The bus transport service of Nagaland is also a
utility service department rather than just another commercial undertaking.
