Mokokchung, October 22 (MExN): There is no let-up to the indefinite ‘chakha bandh’ in Mokokchung called by the Mokokchung District Commercial Vehicles Owners Association (MDCVOA) which started on October 21. 

According to sources, a meeting between the association and the district administration remained inconclusive on Tuesday.
