The Kohima Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has decided to call for a one-day shutter down on 26th April 2024 (Friday) from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm to show its solidarity to Dimapur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI).
In a press release, KCCI president Kezhazer Angami and General Secretary Henry Chisüte appreciated DCCI for “taking a bold and firm stand to express the grievances of the business community in general by way of calling for an indefinite downing of shutters in Dimapur.”
The Dimapur trade body had earlier announced indefinite shutter down of all shops and business establishment from 26th April in protest of the unabated harassment by Naga political groups on a daily basis.
Its Kohima counterpart stated on Wednesday that the “challenges and problems highlighted by DCCI is a common affliction faced by the business and trading community in general and a contemplative concern to all”.
