ITANAGAR, Feb 3:  The Itanagar Market Welfare Association (IMWA) on Thursday said that any organization involved in any kind of forceful donation or extortion from the business community will be dealt with strong action.
Addressing the media persons at the press club here today, newly elected President -IMWA,  Dado Tajuk said the association will not tolerate such activities within the Itanagar market region.
While appealing to the business community to boycott such donations, he said a help desk will be set up at the office to deal with such cases. Also, a group of volunteers will be monitoring such matters.
“We will not tolerate any kind of extortion, donation, smuggling of drugs and selling of other banned items within the jurisdiction. Anyone having information of such activities should inform the office,” he said, adding that the identity of the informer will be protected.
Stating that unmanaged roadside vendors have been creating serious problems for shops, thereby minimizing flow of customers, the new president said the association will come up with a proper solution so that none are affected. “The association will work to find a space for roadside vendors. The team will take up the concern with the district administration along with the vendors association,” he added.

He also appealed to the business community to operate their respective business with proper documents and also update the trading license timely.
When questioned on the specific amount of money collected from the shops by IMWA, Tajuk said the collection is for the welfare of the business community and will be nominal.
Meanwhile, IMWA General Secretary Nanu Taw Tara said the other prime focus of the association is on modernization and beautification of market areas. To do so, he has appealed to the public to cooperate.
He also appealed to the business community to be responsible and avoid dumping of garbage in open areas. 
“IMWA will coordinate with IMC and district administration in garbage management. Let’s be responsible and support IMWA in making the capital clean and healthy,” he said.
