It has come to the knowledge of the Business Association of Nagas (BAN) that many local buyers with authorization letters from village councils/competent authority are denied their share of purchases at the wholesale market in Dimapur. The whole sellers are not willing to sell to locals saying that there is no stock or the size of the buyer’s vehicle is small.
It may be mentioned that during a meeting held on 3rd April among members of the state Govt special committee and various stakeholders it was decided that buying from the wholesale market will be permitted with written permission from the administrative officer/GB/ Village council concerned.
If village councils/colonies of Dimapur do not get their due share at the wholesale market, this will have a negative impact on the lockdown as people will have to fulfill their needs by venturing out to other colonies/ villages.
BAN requests the concerned authorities to ensure equitable distribution of essentials items during such difficult times.
Any person with valid document who is denied his share of purchase at the wholesale market may report to BAN at 9436012590/ 962588719/ 7005609377 BAN also requests the authorities and village councils to keep a check on the price rise.
