The Wokha Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WDCCI) president Renponthung Ezung in a press release informed that the district will not join others due to sudden nature of the decision and ‘it will be inconvenient for those coming to town for shopping from different villages’.
Earlier, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) had announced the nationwide trade bandh to express solidarity with the families of security personnel martyred in the Pulwama terror attack.
CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said during the bandh traders would observe a day long fast and take out a tribute march in their respective states.
