GPRN/NSCN responds to KCCI

The GPRN/NSCN has agreed not to collect tax from the business community within the state capital, till the market situation improves. The decision was taken during a closed-door meeting of KCCI officials with central and regional officials of the GPRN/NSCN at KCCI Tower on Monday. KCCI Task Force convener, Peter Rutsa informed that during the meeting, both sides discussed the impact created by forceful collection of tax by various Naga Political Groups. Such extortion has been affecting not only the business community but also the people, he said. Informing that the KCCI has not yet decided whether to pay or abstain from paying taxes in the future too, Rutsa however said that even if KCCI pays, it will be in the form of free will donation and not imposed taxation. Meanwhile, the KCCI has expressed gratitude to GPRN/NSCN for their decision.
