Kohima, March 24 (MExN): Kohima Chamber of Commerce and Industries (KCCI) has informed all businesses registered under the Chamber that NSCN (K) has agreed to abstain from collection of “yearly tax” till the market financial status improves or proper intimation and mutual agreement is reached between the two. KCCI in a press release appreciated this “matured decision” taken by the NSCN (K) authority of Kohima in consultation with their senior leaders. It urged all Naga Political Groups (NPGs) to respond positively to the appeal made by KCCI in the welfare of business and in the interest of the Nagas. KCCI declared that any “faction” against “this prayer of the business community without due consultation and proper discussion will invite non co-operation from the business community.” While acknowledging that the Naga Political Movement is a complex issue that needs contribution from every Naga to sustain it, the KCCI implored all the NPGs to “accept the fact that the present unabated, multiple and double taxation has become a yoke too heavy for the business community to carry.”
