Mokokchung Police arrest 11 traders without ILP
Mokokchung, July 9 (MExN): The Ao Students’ Conference (AKM) and the Mokokchung Chamber of Commerce & Industries (MCCI) have questioned the Deputy Commissioner, Mokokchung over the implementation of Inner Line Permit (ILP) in the district, and in this regard, has demanded the "in toto" implentation of the provisions laid down for the Weekly Bazaar in Mokokchung.
In a letter addressed to the DC, AKM and MCCI reminded the DC of the April 20, 2015 meeting (vide letter No. JUD-48/06/39) and the subsequent letters from the DC’s office (vide No.JUD-48/2015/94 dated 09/06/2015), in which ample provisions had been laid down “to check unwanted threats posed by the so-called ‘Weekly Bazaar’ traders”.
Stating that they were “constrained to write” on the issue, the two bodies maintained that the said laid down rules “are not being implemented on ground to our satisfaction”.
Further, informing that 11 traders without valid ILP were arrested by police on Saturday morning at New Reserve Area (DEF), Mokokchung, the AKM and MCCI posed a series of questions to the DC asking how it was possible for the 11 to pass through the inter-state Police check gate at Tuli area.
While appreciating the Mokokchung Police personnel for their vigilance, the two bodies also questioned the DC why the pick-up vehicles the 11 traders were travelling in, along with their consignment, were not seized by the authorities.
The AKM and MCCI demanded that the provisions laid down for the Weekly Bazaar in Mokokchung district as formulated during the meeting held on April 20, 2015 be implemented in toto. “Or ban the so-called Weekly Bazaar immediately,” the AKM and MCCI demanded.
