The Chamber also feels that the leaders of various parties belonging to different hues and interests can compound the problem by issuing statements and siding with one or the other.
The Chamber called upon both the institutions to sit together, thrash out the problem, express their grievances, voice their concerns and come to a mutually agreed solutions. It is also true that the stand off between the two sides is causing lot of problems to the general public. Both the institutions should resolve the issue without any loss of time in the interest of the public. Criticising one or the other, making it a prestige point and taking a rigid stand will be detrimental to the interests of both. The present situation is creating an embarrassing situation for both and should be ended immediately.
