Collection of illegal taxes in check gates
Morung Express | Dahru Veino Jun 27, 2011
As stated in the recent local dailies, there are standing government policies dated June 22, 2009 and December 8, 2009 against collection of taxes (entry fees) in the police check gates. Let me try to fill in for the general public who may not be aware of how much the police are collecting per vehicle per trip. On a trip from Dimapur, Nagaland to Senapati, Manipur the rates charged by police in check gates on a mini truck (709) is listed below: Bigger trucks pay twice as much or more. Maybe some owners of the bigger trucks will fill us in on how much are they made to pay per trip.
Chumukedima gate = Rs 100,
Lal mati gate = Rs. 50
KMC toll = Rs. 50,
Exise , Kohima = Rs 20
New Reserve, Phesama, = Rs 200,
Kuzhama gate = Rs 200
Mao gate = Rs.100,
Mao council = Rs. 20
Senapati police = Rs.100
The above is the Rs 840 is for the trip with load. Even on the return trip when the vehicle is traveling empty, the following fees are collected.
Senapati drivers union = Rs. 20,
Khuzhama check gate = Rs. 20
Petroleum union tax = Rs. 20,
New Reserve gate = Rs. 20+20
Gaspani (Medzephema) = Rs. 10,
