Dimapur, April 27: The Dimapur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) on Friday called for an indefinite shutdown in protest against “unabated extortion” by underground outfits.
Traders bodies of other Nagaland districts also extended support to the shutdown.
It said that the administration and the law enforcement agencies can no longer afford to overlook such illegal activities badly affecting the business community.
“We had to launch the indefinite shutdown of trades as no action was taken by the government against the extortionists,” a DCCI statement stated.
The Confederation of Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CNCCI) also on Friday called an indefinite shutdown across the state from Saturday.
It urged other organisations, civil societies and the people to extend support to their cause.
