NVCO reacts to Nagaland Chief Secretary & DGP on illegal tax

Kohima Jun 24 (UNI) The Nagaland Voluntary Consumers’ Organisation (NVCO), during the lockdown due to pandemic, cannot remain as a ‘silent spectator’ over the illegal and unauthorised taxation which contribute ‘Price-Rise’ in the state markets especially the essential commodities and the so called general public and consumers mainly the poor and weaker section are been hit harder and this is how the consumers finally realised all illegal taxations.

According to a release issued by the Press & Media Cell of NVCO has inform all citizens of Nagaland that the State Government is yet to establish ‘State Human Right Commission’ in the state, which is mandatory as per the provision provided by the Constitution of India. Acting on a petition filed by a noted human rights activist Radhakanta Tripathy, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) passed an order directing the chief secretary Nagaland to ensure basic human rights in the state especially the more than one hundred villages of the state. The petition alleged that all-weather road connectivity and non-availability of basic amenities like portable drinking water, primary health care and education facilities were not provided and villages had livelihood problems, social schemes introduced by the Central and the State Government was not being implemented properly. The petition further alleged that people of Nagaland have to pay taxes to the parallel government run by five insurgent groups including NSCN (I-M), GPRN/NSCN, NSCN (K) and the two factions of Naga National Council (NNC), apart from paying the government taxes. Illegal multiple taxes and threats by insurgents mixed with the inaction of the government amount to the denial of the right to life. A noted human rights activist Tripathy had again pointed out illegal and unabated taxation imposed on the people of Nagaland forcing them to pay multiple taxes to underground groups and continuation of extortion on commercial vehicles un-checked along Highways and check-gates in Nagaland.
