Dimapur, September 19 (MExN): The Dimapur Naga Students’ Union along with 12 constituent units have served a four-day ultimatum starting Sunday, to the Nagaland Chief Minister, demanding immediate roll back of the COVID-19 cess on fuel.
In a representation submitted through the Dimapur Deputy Commissioner on September 19, the DNSU and Presidents of 12 constituent units urged the government not to “rely upon the general public to meet the state’s financial exigencies.” It said that the decision to serve the ultimatum was taken during the union’s third union Assembly with all the constituent units.
The DNSU pointed out that the government had failed to heed the union’s earlier statements on June 11 and September 13 and cautioned that it would “close down all the petroleum outlets within its jurisdiction and supply from every entries indefinitely.”
