Dimapur, July 4 (MExN): The Dimapur Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) on Saturday condemned the recent acts of vandalism, lawlessness and illegal monetary demands targeting members of the business community in Dimapur.
The DCCI Media Cell in it press release stated that it does not endorse or support any form of illegal business activities and firmly believes that no individual or organisation has the authority to take the law into their own hands. “Any allegation or suspicion of unlawful activity must be addressed strictly through the due process of law by the competent authorities,” it maintained.
The DCCI urged the District Administration and the Commissioner of Police to conduct a fair, impartial, and thorough investigation into the matter and to take appropriate action in accordance with the law. The Chamber also assured the administration and police of its full cooperation and support in every possible way to ensure that justice is served and such incidents do not recur.
Reiterating its consistent stand that the rule of law must prevail at all times, the DCCI asserted that no person, group, or organization is above the law, and all disputes or grievances should be resolved through legal and constitutional means.
The Chamber further advised all its members not to entertain any summons, demands, or requests for monetary contributions or donations from any organisation without proper verification and due process. Members were encouraged to immediately report such incidents to the DCCI and the appropriate law enforcement authorities rather than becoming victims of coercion or intimidation.
The Chamber reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the interests of the business community and fostering a secure, lawful, and business-friendly environment in Dimapur.
