The round says that it was once the second and ultimate warning to Nigerians. "No Nigerian is allowed to engage in business activity of any kind inside the Khaderpettai market. Nigerians who are involved in the businesses without permission should move out of the market," it says.
Nicolas has admitted within the round that many Nigerians were partnering with Indians and sporting out the companies. He has steered his fellow countrymen to acquire permission from the native government for doing the business.
"We were concerned that many Nigerians have come here in tourist visa or student visa and illegally doing the business in Tirupur district. It was affecting the local businessmen, who were already facing the crunch," said KS Babuji, common secretary, Collar Work and Hosiery Small Industries Association.
Based at the inputs from the native businessmen, S Sundarapandian of Aam Aadmi Party has despatched a complaint to the state govt and now the complaint has been forwarded to town police division.
City police commissioner P Nagarajan instructed TOI: "We have found that many Nigerians were doing the garment exporting business after arriving on tourist visa and student visa. We have warned the Nigerian population that they should not do it unless they have obtained business visa or employment visa."
"Only four Nigerians have registered under the Registration of Foreigners Act so far for doing business in Tirupur. Among the four, two of them got married to Indians and settled in the city. So, we have given an ultimatum to rest of them till December 31. If the illegality continues, we will inspect and book them under the Passport (Entry into India) Act," warned the CoP.
