The Konyaks asked the groups to unite for people to be relieved of multiple taxation
A Nagaland tribe has declined to pay “taxes” to several extremist groups in the State unless they united for the greater cause of the Nagas.
The “no unity, no tax” declaration by the Konyak community in the State’s Mon district is believed to be a move to provide fiscal relief to the people by ending multiple taxation.
