Guwahati, 5th October – In a significant operation, the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) successfully intercepted a vehicle transporting illegal wooden logs in *Balla Moguri, Chirang. The operation took place near *Dangsiapara while the vehicle, registered as *AS 15 AC 0313, was en route to *Bijni.
Under the command of Party Commander B.D. Chakraborty from the F Company, the SSB acted swiftly on a tip-off, leading to the apprehension of the vehicle laden with Gomari tree logs. Notably, the vehicle was found to be lacking any documentation to prove the legality of the timber being transported.
