KOHIMA, DECEMBER 18 (MExN): While officially launching the week-long observance of ‘National Consumers Day’ which fall on every 24th December, the Nagaland Voluntary Consumers Organisation President Kezhokhoto Savi expressed support to the order issued by the Deputy Commissioner Dimapur in banning selling of calendars, raffles, badges, coupons, lotteries, donations etc.
For a very long time, the NVCO has been creating consumer awareness on rampant illegal fund-raise and also making an appeal to the state government and to all the District Administration particularly the Deputy Commissioner Kohima to stop all kinds of fund-raise in the state capital, a press release from the organization stated.
The NVCO asked all the Deputy Commissioners in the state especially Kohima to immediately issue a similar order as the one issued by the Dimapur DC “as the state capital has become a haven for fund-raise.”
“It is very unfortunate that we the citizens of Nagaland have become very smart and creative in making easy money by various forms of fund-raise and we are to admit that Nagaland is a state of doing all sorts of these various illegalities affecting the prices in the market and our economy and it also amounts to harassment,” the NVCO stated.
The President NVCO said that the week-long observance of National Consumers Day would include conducting of Consumer Awareness Campaigns.
