Dimapur, September 20 (MExN): The East Dimapur Business Association (EDBA) on Sunday came out in support of the DCCI, DNSU, CNSA and other organizations who are demanding to roll back cess on petroleum products in the state.
The Association said that the pandemic has already broken the economy, due to which the businessmen/shop owners and common people are suffering economically. The hike in fuel prices has added to the burden, it stated.
While governments of other countries and states have announced different schemes to ease the condition of the people, the Nagaland government has hiked the price on petroleum products, making the life of the common people harder, it added. The EDBA requested the Government of Nagaland to roll back the hike on petroleum products within the stipulated time as demanded by different organizations.
“…or else EDBA will have no other option but to go against the Government and stand along with the common people,” it warned.
