Dimapur, September 28 (MExN): Various organizations have endorsed the ultimatum given to the Government of Nagaland by the Coordination Committee on Fuel Adulteration to bring in CBI to probe the fuel adulteration racket, which was busted on June 27.
CCCTA
The Chumukedima Chamber of Commerce and Trade Association (CCCTA) expressed disappointment over the manner in which the follow up investigation is being carried out in the fuel adulteration racket. In a press release issued by its General Secretary, James Kin and President, Avi Chase, CCCTA questioned why even after three months, “justice is not delivered, though everything was caught red handed in presence of the public, ACAUT, administration and the police.” It maintained that the public is being denied justice, adding “Justice delayed is justice denied”. Affirming its endorsement, CCCTA warned the authority concerned that it “will not remain as a mere silent spectator if the Govt. of Nagaland fails to meet the demand submitted on September 23, 2016 representing all frontal organizations in Dimapur.”
Chumukedima Town Youth Organisation
Chumukedima Town Youth Organisation (CTYO) also endorsed the ultimatum and re-affirmed to leave no stone unturned until justice is delivered. A press release issued by CTYO General Secretary, Sekho Thakro and President, Vibu Doze stated, “It is legitimate public interest…as fuel is used directly or indirectly by everyone. So it is our legal rights to fight against the people who are robbing the general public every day.” The organization also assured to give all its effort to fight against corruption and at the same time appealed to the general public to come out voluntarily and support the fight against corruption.
Nagaland Hotel & Restaurant Association
In a separate press release, Nagaland Hotel & Restaurant Association (NHRA) also reaffirmed to stand by the Coordination Committee on Fuel Adulteration (CCoFA) in its demand for CBI investigation in the fuel adulteration scam and to re-arrest all the alleged fuel adulteration kingpins. The NHRA stated that the “fuel adulteration scam is nothing, but a parasitic blood sucking networks to our nascent Nagas economy...” Should the State Government fail to implement the public resolution which was adopted on September 10, the NHRA asserted it will fully support the CCoFA in enforcing bandh on National Highways within the state.
