Dimapur, March 26 (MExN): The business community in Dimapur has urged the state government to equip the police and law agencies with “gadgets” to counter crimes considering that criminals are now more tech-savvy. The specific technology the Dimapur Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) and Nagaland Medical Dealers Association (NMDA) wants the police to be equipped with are mobile tracing technologies.
The DCCI and the NMDA issued a press release today referring to the Dimapur law enforcing agencies for arresting the ‘main culprit’ behind the March 15 abduction of two non-local students. “The tireless efforts and selfless sacrifices of the police have resulted in solving the kidnapping case,” the note said.
“Since kidnapping and extortion have become almost a daily affair in the commercial hub Dimapur, DCCI and NMDA would like to impress on the State government to allot trace mobile network (TMN) gadget to Dimapur police so as to save their time and increase efficiency in nabbing anti-social elements,” the two organizations said.
“It is learnt their counterparts in Assam and Manipur already have this electronic gadget at their disposal. Presently, police have to take help from telecom service providers for tracing the mobile calls of kidnappers and anti-social elements. Many precious lives have been lost as sometimes the service providers also cannot attend to every all requests for assistance.”
The organization said that the ‘accomplices of the main accused’ are still at large and ‘this is a serious threat to the society, especially the business community, as they are habitual offenders.’ “We urge the law enforcing agencies to book the culprits at the earliest and award befitting punishment as per relevant section of the law,” the DCCI and NMDA stated. The note was appended by DCCI president Hokivi Chishi and NMDA president Ato Yepthomi.
Also in another note, the DCCI expressed sadness that many a times, business establishments are the victims for incidents that could have been settled amicably. “DCCI would like to give its view that whatever the issue, damaging and vandalizing of business establishments and property are not the correct approach to resolve any grievances,” the DCCI said.
Whenever any problem or issue arises, the party or groups should approach the appropriate authority to redress their grievances, the organization said. “Taking the law into our own hands and damaging property will not solve the issue but rather vitiate the harmony among various communities co-existing in this cosmopolitan city. Such uncivilized acts should not be encouraged but all section of society should try to create a congenial atmosphere for business to thrive and prosper.”
