The Kohima Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has appealed all the members of the Business Community extend solidarity to the Public rally initiated by the Angami Youth Organisation (AYO) by closing their shops, business establishments during the duration of the demonstration and attend the Public Rally at Old MLA Hostel Junction, Kohima at 11:00 AM on August 6.
The KCCI expressed shock over the recent death threat by the NSCN/GPRN (Khango) upon the life of K. Rülho, Proprietor of KKB Rülho, who is a bonafide member of KCCI.
“This decree has enraged and traumatised the business community over the odds as through the decades, the business community is one amongst the few section from whom the Naga Political Groups have realised monetary contributions to fund its day to day activities. However, instead of acknowledging the contributions, the business community has been made to bear the brunt of uncountable harassments, intimidations, physical assaults and death threats from the multitudes of the NPG’s indulgence in forms of unabated taxations, periodical collections and day to day demands,” stated the KCCI on August 4.
It cautioned that the present trend of extorting monetary resources from the business community, contractors & suppliers, public servants, public etc, will be counterproductive in the long run.

“The resulting ramification thereof will do a huge damage to the Naga National Movement and even the very fabric of the society. Therefore, KCCI earnestly request all the NPGs not to resort to taking arbitrary decisions which imperils the physical well beings of the individual or parties,” implored the KCCI, further appealing the NSCN/GPRN (Khango) group in particular to revoke the death threat against K. Rülho at the earliest.
The KCCI pledged Its utmost co-operation and support to the Angami Youth Organisation (AYO) for taking the initiative to organise a Public Rally with the theme and aim to oppose “Unabated Illegal Taxations, Harassments, Intimidations and Death Threats to common people”.
