Dimapur, April 12 (MExN): The Tenants’ Association of Naga Shopping Arcade (TANSA), Dimapur has resolved to down shutters of the Naga Shopping Arcade as a mark of protest if the Secretary of DAN is not transferred immediately.
In a representation to the Chairman, Development Authority of Nagaland (DAN), TANSA pointed out that the Naga Shopping Arcade complex has become very unsafe for the tenants as well as shoppers due to cracks inside and outside the buildings, roof leakage. It highlighted that the doors and windows need to be replaced, there has been no white washing of the buildings for the last fifteen years, public toilets are to be made, huge losses used to be incurred by the tenants every year owing to flood in the basement area, due to poor or no drainage system, stagnant water and garbage have made breeding place for mosquitoes in the basement area.
The Association also mentioned that auto drivers refuse to come to the market due to parking tax. 15% service charge is imposed without any maintenance, it said.
All these problems, according to the representation issued by TANSA Secretary Yarmong and President Pukhaho Yepthomi, were addressed and verbal discussions were held with the Secretary of DAN on many occasions, but the Secretary failed to acknowledge any of the suggestions. “Instead, (the Secretary) took all these in a negative side and never pay heed to reply any of our complaints,” TANSA said. Therefore, the Association demanded the transfer of the Secretary.
The Association also urged the Chairman of DAN to address the problems listed above within 15 days.
