The Kohima Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) and the Wokha District Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WDCCI) have announced the end of their indefinite shutter down in their respective districts, following the lead of the Confederation of Nagaland Chamber of Commerce & Industry (CNCCI).
The shutter down, which had been causing disruptions to local businesses, was initially triggered by a charter of demands put forth by the Dimapur Chamber of Commerce (DCCI). One of the key demands was the criminalisation of unauthorised summons of the business community by non-governmental groups.

KCCI and WDCCI expressed their appreciation for the support and solidarity shown during the shutter down period, emphasising the importance of continued cooperation moving forward.
The CNCCI played a vital role in coordinating with the various district chambers of commerce, ensuring a unified approach to addressing the issues faced by the business community across Nagaland.
