Nine Nagaland district chambers of commerce to start indefinite shutdown from Monday
The protest is aimed at pressing the state government to nominate representatives from DCCIs into all Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), particularly town councils. The CNCCI stated that the state government's 'failure' to respond effectively to the demands of the business community for several years has compelled the district chamber of commerce & industries (DCCI) of the nine districts – Dimapur, Chumoukedima, Niuland, Peren, Wokha, Zunheboto, Phek, Tseminyu, and Meluri to go ahead with the voluntary indefinite shutdown. Dimapur, May 18 (PTI) The Confederation of Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CNCCI) on Sunday announced that it will go ahead with voluntary indefinite business shutdown across nine districts of the state from Monday. CNCCI is the apex body of 17 DCCIs of the state, of which nine are going on agitation. Addressing a press conference in Dimapur on Sunday, CNCCI chairman Khekugha Muru stated that despite multiple efforts to engage the state government, including recent communications facilitated by Nagaland government spokesperson and minister K G Kenye, no concrete outcome or timeframe has been assured. The CNCCI, therefore, has resolved to support the district chambers in moving forward with their collective decision to launch an indefinite shutdown. The shutdown is an expression of the business community's growing frustration and will be conducted in a peaceful, voluntary, and democratic manner, he said. The shutdown is not aimed at causing inconvenience to the public, but at drawing urgent attention to the unresolved issues, Muru said. Maintaining that CNCCI is ready to withdraw the shutdown if the state government commits to a clear and time-bound plan for resolving the issues, he said, 'We want to make it clear: if the government provides a deadline, we are ready to reconsider and call off the indefinite shutdown immediately. We are not in a rush, and we are open to discussions.' PTI CORR NBS NBS RG This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.

No business: Nagaland trade body protests govt's ‘step-motherly treatment'
Dimapur: Confederation of Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CNCCI) has announced an indefinite voluntary business shutdown across the state starting April 24, to protest against the state govt's alleged lack of equitable justice in nominating representatives of the District Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) to the district urban local bodies (ULBs). In a letter dated April 21, CNCCI chairperson Khekugha Muru informed DCCI presidents about the decision, which followed appeals urging collective action. The DCCI presidents expressed disappointment over what they termed the state govt's "step-motherly treatment". According to Muru, the CNCCI had explored all possible avenues, including formal appeals to the chief minister and press releases warning of a democratic protest if demands were not addressed by April 20, 2025. "Unfortunately, the state government has not responded," he said. Responding to demands from nine aggrieved DCCIs, the CNCCI announced the shutdown, which will also involve banking institutions.
