Pungro Sub-Division Timber Traders’ Union (PSDTTU) has expressed shock on the illegal taxation being imposed upon the traders which it termed was a “blatant and unacceptable”. While backing Nagaland Timber Traders’ Union (NTTU) for raising the issue, the union has appealed to the state government to take action against the erring officials.
The union president, JB. Shahoto in a statement has also condemned the action of the officials, who at their “whimsical state” has resumed the taxation. It therefore, urged the state government to do away with taxation and initiate action against the defaulters.
