Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) executive meeting held on September 10, 2019 has resolved to re-affirm its earlier stand against the shifting of Deputy Commissioner (DC) office from Dimapur to Chumoukedima. In a press release, NCD president T Bangerloba and general secretary Thsapongkyu Sangtam said that the present DC office was “strategically located” and convenient for the general public. NCD maintained that the move to shift the public office would have negative impact on the lives of citizens of Dimapur.
Further, NCD also opposed the use of new nomenclature “DC Chumoukedima Camp Dimapur”. Meanwhile, NCD expressed dismay over the locking up of PWD building due to non-clearance of pending bill by the government. In this regard, NCD has urged that the department to clear the pending bills at the earliest and secure the land and building as per chief secretary order published in local dailies on September 10, 2019 and immediately cancel all illegal government departmental land encroachers patta.
