The house noted that in spite of several protests and appeals by public to all the factions against taxation and random extortion, there has been no let up and instead “more unwanted activities” were continuing and was turning from bad to worse.
Affirming that Nagas were tired of “torture, extortion and intimidation” on innocent public and businessman, mostly in the name of political movement, the house maintained that “such kind of unwanted activities should be condemned by all.”
Further, the meeting on behalf of public of Dimapur appealed to NSCN (K) authority to take appropriate action against the “culprit for their senseless act.” The house also resolved to “stand solidly” behind Western Chakhesang Hoho in the fight for justice.
Meanwhile, the house expressed concern over the “alarming incidents of anti-social activities occurring at regular intervals” and questioned why the state government has kept silent and failed to take action on ultimatum given by four business organisations (DCCI, BAN, EDBA and CTCC) which expired on October 5, 2017.
