To stop trucks from entering Dimapur<\/strong><\/p>\n ***************************************<\/strong><\/p>\n Warn indefinite total ‘chakka jam’<\/strong><\/p>\n Against the backdrop of the killing of a truck driver (identified as Jiten Gogoi) in Dimapur on September 22 by unidentified armed miscreant(s)- Dimapur District Truck Owners Association, Dimapur Truck Drivers’ Union, Dimapur District Truck Driver Welfare Trade Union, Lahorijan and Khatkhati Truckers’ Welfare Society and Bokajan Truck Owners Association – Thursday served an ultimatum on the government of Nagaland to resolve the varied problems faced by truckers in Dimapur within three days failing which they would prevent all trucks from entering Dimapur by declaring complete ‘chakka jam’ indefinitely.<\/p>\n In a joint statement, the trucker associations demanded that the state government end lease system being practised by the Dimapur Municipal Council. They claimed that the lease system was the root cause of “these entire problems” as the leasees (contractors) were “actively involved in passing details of goods vehicles to all the miscreants.”<\/p>\n The associations pointed out that the current situation has created fear among the drivers, who were not willing to enter Dimapur until their safety and protection were fully assured. Further, the truckers said that the “internal conflict of taxation among the so-called transporters\/brokers” based in Dimapur have also created fear psychosis among the truckers. They alleged that the transporters insist that truckers meet different underground groups and also do not allow truckers to be provided with police escort while entering Dimapur.<\/p>\n The associations said that as they were deeply worried by the deteriorating law and order in the city and were left with no option but to serve ultimatum on the state government and law enforcing agencies. They also demanded that the state government provide immediate compensation to the victim’s family to sustain the livelihood since the victim was the sole bread earner of the family.<\/p>\n PDA govt responsible for decay in law & order, says NPF <\/strong><\/p>\n While condemning the killing of a truck driver identified as Jiten Gogoi in the early hours of September 21 at Dimapur, NPF has expressed sympathy with the kith and kin of the victim and the business community in general.<\/p>\n In the light of the shocking incident, NPF press bureau has lamented on the law and order situation which has made criminals audacious enough to commit such heinous crime in the heart of the commercial hub of Nagaland.<\/p>\n NPF said the audacity of the perpetrators in committing the crime in the middle of a densely populated city demonstrated a sheer contempt at both the government of the day and the law enforcers. <\/p>\n NPF said it believed that due to the persistent failure of the PDA government to enforce “accountability and transparency” in matter of public security and welfare a huge contributor for the deplorable law and order situation which the state finds itself in today.<\/p>\n According to NPF, the reluctance of the government to censure or discipline criminal negligence and unethical practices in public office or taking stringent measures to curb illegal activities has only emboldened anti-socials and criminals to have scant respect for the law enforces and take the law into their own hands. <\/p>\n Further, NPF also extended solidarity with the business community and the DCCI in particular and urged upon the law enforcement agencies and district administration to spare not efforts to arrest the culprits involved at the earliest.<\/p>\n It also reiterated that the incident was another evidence of the belief that the PDA government has “completely failed” either provide and ensure a peaceful law and order situation or good governance and therefore, “must step down on moral grounds.”<\/p>\n 3-day ultimatum on govt by truckers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[679],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-219186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nagaland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219186\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
