DUCCF endorses demand for CBI

Dimapur, September 26 (MExN): The Dimapur Urban Councils Chairmen Federation (DUCCF), which is part of the Coordination Committee on Fuel Adulteration, today endorsed the ultimatum served to the State government by the committee to institute CBI enquiry within 15 days in the fuel adulteration issue.  

A press release from Media Cell, DUCCF stated that the federation has been closely following the developments from the day of busting fuel racket by ACAUT Nagaland and “it's heartening to know the corrupt nexus between the F&CS department and the adulteration kingpins.”  

It pointed out that the monthly SK oil hardly reaches the beneficiaries in Dimapur urban area. “And the bulk of the Kerosene is diverted for adulteration,” it alleged.  

“The ethical values in the art of governance are nowhere to be seen. The government of the day must not underestimate the growing displeasure of the common man. Unmasking the culprits will surely be costly for those in the chair of power. But let it be a reminder to all that the real power belongs to the people. Bringing in the CBI to unmask the culprits is the only legitimate way for the government to prove its mantle,” DUCCF stated.  

The DUCCF also called upon the youths, leaders and public under the municipal area of Dimapur (74 colonies) to be prepared for the execution of the National Highway bandh in the event of failure by the State government to bring in the CBI for thorough investigation in the fuel adulteration issue and to re-arrest all the fuel adulteration kingpins.
