DIMAPUR — The Confederation of Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CNCCI) has appreciated the recent decision of the public under the aegis of the Phek Town Public Forum (PTPF) to refrain from paying any form of tax to any Naga political groups.
In a press release, the CNCCI Media Affairs stated that the move is a “defining and courageous step as we begin the year 2026”. It noted that this resolution and decision will not only ease the burden on the business community but also protect consumers—from the rich to the poor.
It added that the decision deserves acknowledgement and support from every Naga and “should serve as a challenge to other towns and districts to follow suit”.

The CNCCI stated that the Naga political group must take this as a wake-up call. “At no point have the Nagas mandated the existence of multiple and ever-growing factions claiming to represent one Naga aspiration,” it stated.
It urged the groups to view this public resolution through a “positive prism”, adding that such resolution and action will usher them to come together, thereby strengthening the Naga national movement.
“With unity, the public will be more willing to shoulder the movement voluntarily and in good faith under the banner and slogan of ‘One Government, One Tax’,” the statement read.
