Overview

  • Nine District Chambers of Commerce and Industries (DC-CIs) in Nagaland will begin an indefinite business shutdown across nine districts on May 19.
  • The shutdown protests the state government's failure to nominate DCCI representatives to urban local bodies in these districts despite repeated appeals.
  • Affected districts include Dimapur, Chumoukedima, Niuland, Peren, Wokha, Zunheboto, Phek, Tseminyu, and Meluri.
  • The Confederation of Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CNCCI) had previously called off a similar shutdown in April after talks with the government yielded no resolution.
  • CNCCI asserts the shutdown will not disrupt essential services and is a peaceful exercise of democratic rights to advocate for representation.
