Appeal to Forum for Naga Reconciliation

To,
The Chairman
Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR)

Sub: - Appeal to intervene and streamline the taxations by various Govt. on Buses  and Bus Counters

Sir,
With humble submission, we would like to bring to your notice that various Governments have been imposing yearly taxes and numerous daily taxes on Buses and Bus Counters. Lately, many new taxes (yearly and daily) are imposed. As a result, the bus operators are finding it hard to operate the buses.

Therefore, it is my earnest request to you to kindly intervene and streamline the taxation process of various Governments.
The All Nagaland Private Bus Union has decided that if this trend of excessive taxation continued, it would be compelled to:
1. Hike the passenger fare by 50% to cover excess taxes imposed on buses.

2. Shift the Bus Counters to Assam side, half a kilometer away from the present  location in order to avoid the numerous taxes.
The detail list of taxes imposed on buses and Bus operators by various Governments are enclosed herewith for your kind perusal.

G. Kits Sema
President
All Nagaland Private Bus Union
