DIMAPUR, JANUARY 8 (MExN): Today one can get into trouble selling calendars. A complaint has surfaced against Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC) that in addition to allegedly raising the price of trade license renewal fees two-fold, a ‘must’ buy of a Rs. 300 calendar has been enforced by the municipal body.
Assembly Youth Congress (AYC) of Dimapur-II AC has renewed its call on the DAN government to review an earlier demand regarding the DMC advisory board’s ‘unconstitutional move’ to revise rates on items and the two-fold increase on trade license fees during renewal. Mughavi Swu, president of the AYC Dimapur-II AC said the DAN government had on earlier occasions asked to rectify the compulsory sale of the said calendar to the business community and criticised the government for maintaining, what they described as, a “who cares?” attitude. He lamented that the trend is “anti-people and a mockery against the norms of Nagaland Municipal Act 2001”.
