Dimapur Naga Students\u2019 Union (DNSU) has clarified that its recent inspection on a shop selling Christmas decoration at Dimapur was over allegations that the shop was selling products that did not have the label \u2018MRP\u2019 (Maximum Retail Price).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was stated during a press conference at DNSU office here Monday, where its president Hinoto P Aomi explained that the inspection was conducted after receiving complaints regarding a shopkeeper selling items without MRP label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on the \u2018tipoff\u2019 Hinoto said a DNSU team went to the shop on November 23 and caught the shopkeeper red-handed selling the items that did not have MRP on them. He further claimed that despite items sold without printed MRP , the shopkeeper was adamant and even allegedly threatened the DNSU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hinoto also alleged that the shopkeeper claimed that such practices were common among shopkeepers in Dimapur adding that it was \u201cdaylight robbery of Nagas\u201d. The president reiterated that the DNSU inspected the shop after a specific complaint and that such inspections would be undertaken cases based on complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also lamented on the lack of public support for the DNSU\u2019s efforts and instead claimed that some even criticised the union without understanding the facts. Hinoto asked why student leaders in Nagaland were discouraged from tackling corruption, when students doing the same across the world were lauded and encouraged?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DNSU leaders said their team did not close the particular shop but that it was the police who did so after finding that items had no MRP labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also alleged that when the Union went to register FIR at the East P.S on the same day, it was not accepted as the personnel claimed that the officer-in-charge (OC) was unavailable. He said that even the FIR by DNSU was still not been accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In response to claim by the shopkeeper that GST and other taxes were paid, Hinoto wondered how GST was paid when the items did not have MRP lables. Hinoto also said selling items without without MRP was illegal and vowed that the DNSU would continue to fight against such malpractices in the interests of Naga community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked whether DNSU had informed the Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC) on the issue, Hinoto said that the union operated independently and was only answerable to the Naga Students\u2019 Federation (NSF). Instead, he said DMC should take the opportunity to address the problem and enforce regulations on product pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the ongoing controversy over a dispensary operating from a classroom at the Government Middle School (GMS) Midland, the DNSU president said an ultimatum was served on the state government, and DNSU had warned of charting its own course of action if the dispensary was not relocated by the next academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dimapur Lotha Students\u2019 Union president Chumnran Humtsoe, and Dimapur S\u00fcmi Students\u2019 Union president Okato Yeptho reaffirmed the DNSU\u2019s commitment to standing by the decisions made in Monday\u2019s meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
