Guwahati: The Public Distribution System (PDS) rice that was discovered being unlawfully kept in Dibrugarh on Wednesday prompted a response from the Assam Tea Tribes Students’ Association (ATTSA).
The rice was kept in order to be sold on the black market and no one has been arrested in connection with the seizure as of yet.
