DIMAPUR — Confederation of Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CNCCI) has appreciated the Kohima Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) for leaving no stone unturned to rescue Anil Choudhary, a businessman from Kohima, from the clutches of his kidnappers.
CNCCI has directed KCCI to pursue all legal means to ensure that those businessmen involved in taking the matter to the national political group (NPG) resulting in kidnapping of Anil Choudhary be given exemplary punishment. It was of the view that those few corrupt and unethical businessmen bring disgrace to the business community and strengthening the hands of anti social element.
“The kidnapping cancer which was mostly concentrated in Dimapur, the commercial capital of Nagaland, is steadily spreading across the state not leaving the political capital of the state, which is a grave indication of law enforcing agencies caught napping,” stated CNCCI through its media cell.
CNCCI also reminded the state government that incident such as kidnapping from Kohima on the eve of Hornbill Festival would send wrong message across the globe and taint its image in this information technology age. It urged the government not to sleep over the safety of the business community and public.
Meanwhile, CNCCI stated that it would not shy away from appreciating the Kohima and Dimapur police for ensuring the safe release of the victim. The business community demanded that the police should not shield anybody but immediately put in the public domain the name of NPG and kidnappers involved for the Naga public to judge.
It wondered on the need for NPG to involve in petty financial matters between individuals doing business by resorting to the extent of kidnapping. The CNCCI condemned kidnapping as a disgrace to Naga national movement which once stood with high moral authority and standard.
CNCCI further urged the NPGs to ensure that their cadres do not take undue advantage in the name of Naga national movement for personal gains.
