DIMAPUR — The Dimapur Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) on Saturday announced that it will resort to an indefinite voluntary shutter down of businesses in Dimapur if the government fails to act upon its assurance on the issue of nominee representation in the urban local bodies (ULBs).
The possibility of a shutdown was deliberated, along with other issues affecting the business community, during a meeting of the DCCI on Saturday, the DCCI stated in a press release.
“The demand of the business community for nominee
representation in the urban local bodies goes way back before the recent ULB
elections—in 2021 to the Home department (Political Branch), the chief
secretary in 2023 and also to the advisor for Urban Development and Municipal
Affairs in 2024.

“Hence, this is not a recent development but a long-pending issue with the state government, which was agreed upon along with other demands as well,” the DCCI said.
