Dimapur, Sep. 27 (EMN): The Dimapur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) has urged the transporters under the All Nagaland Goods Movers’ Union to call off its strike, following assurance from the Dimapur deputy commissioner and the commissioner of police to nab the miscreants responsible for the Aug. 26 incident, and to facilitate ‘smooth shopping’ during the festive season.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, DCCI stated that it had a joint meeting with the Deputy Commissioner of Dimapur, Sachin Jaiswal, and the Commissioner of Police, Rothihu Tetseo, on September 23 to discuss the indefinite strike called by the transporters and consequent hardships faced by the business community and public.
In the meeting, both the officials assured the DCCI members that the armed miscreants responsible for the recent incident would be apprehended and booked soon.
They also requested DCCI to prevail upon the Dimapur-based transporters to call off their shutter-down agitation, taking into consideration the upcoming festive season.
The Dimapur-based transporters have been on a strike since September 16 against the failure of the authorities to arrest the miscreants responsible for the August 26 firing incident at TS Goods Carrier, Kalibari Road, wherein an employee of a transport agency was injured after three unidentified motorcycle-borne miscreants opened fire at the employees inside the office.
