Naga Tribal Union Chümoukedima Town (NTUCT) has strongly condemned the illegal tax collection allegedly by “certain Naga political groups”, organization and some vested interest individuals within Chümoukedima jurisdiction.
In a press release, NTUCT president Lhousito Khro and general secretary Longshi Kikon stated that such act was “questionable” and not acceptable in the society especially at a time when the Nagas were yearning for early political settlement. The union lamented that despite multiple warnings some of the Naga political groups had been “consistently trying to disturb the peaceful atmosphere”.
NTUCT alleged that the contractors and companies working on railways, national highway projects and business communities were being harassed and intimidated, which it said was “a threat to the Naga society.”
In this regard, the union has strongly warned that the perpetrators to immediately stop and refrain from “this illegal practise”. NTUCT stated that the “act of terrorism” would not be entertained within the jurisdiction of Chümoukedima.
Asserting that it would no longer tolerate such act, the union affirmed to initiate legal action as per the customary and the law of the land. Reaffirming to uphold “one govt one tax” resolution of the general Naga public, NTUCT has appealed to every right-thinking Naga to extend cooperation and support “to save the future and the younger generation of Nagaland.”
