To,
The Hon'ble Chief Minister
Government of Nagaland
Sub: An appeal on behalf of the citizens of Nagaland
Sir,
I submit this open letter to you after considering the plight of the citizens of Nagaland Post imposition of Cess of Fuel. As Cess is a tax upon the normal tax, it has a huge bearing on the economy of the people.
To extreme unfortunate, the entire world is struggling with the pandemic of Coronavirus (COVID-19), which has an adverse impact upon the economy of the nation. To handle this situation, the Govt. of India is allotting appropriate amount of fund to all the states, including the State of Nagaland. Moreover, Churches, Civil Societies, Local Authorities and individuals are making the best efforts and contributions at this moment. Needless to say, Churches, Civil Societies/Organization, Local Authorities are taking care of the fooding and dietary matters in most of the QCs.
The arbitrary imposing of Cess on fuel at this time of pandemic is amounting to harassment of citizens, more particularly the common people. This has led to abnormal rise in the prices of essential commodities and in the services of public transport and all the entire human activities. It has to presume that the tax can levy by the Government but Cess is an imposition which is arbitrary hellish and unreasonable during this situation of pandemic.
Therefore, I appeal your kind authority to examine the matter within the ambit of human concern and to lift the Cess on fuel in the State of Nagaland for the betterment of the general public.
Waiting and in anticipation for your concern positive cooperation.
Yours sincerely
I Chubatangit Jamir
Tuli
