Crimes ruining economy: Rio

Kohima: Expressing concern over increasing crimes in Dimapur, Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said it has started to ruin the only economic and commercial centre of the state.

He said Nagaland would prosper only if Dimapur prospers, so people must create peace and do away with fear.

Rio expressed sadness that Dimapur, ‘miniature India; miniature Nagaland’, is already headed for ruin. The Chief Minister was addressing a gathering during celebration of Tokhu Emung, the principal festival of the Kyong Naga community, at the Dimapur District Sports Complex Stadium. Referring to the recent protests and ‘people’s campaign against crime’, in the district, the Chief Minister said, “the menace of extortion, kidnapping must be stopped so that the ‘hub can begin to look and feel like a commercial hub again.”

He also lauded the efforts of Dimapur civil society for willing to speak out against all anti-social activities. (UNI)
