Excise officials suspended

Golaghat: Caught in a barrage of criticism, the excise department has suspended 2 assistant inspectors for failing to do the needful even as the local residents have called it an attempt of the government to wash the hands off.

Upper Assam Division Commissioner Julie Sonowal is probing the case.

A separate team headed by additional commissioner Sanjib Medhi is on a visit to Golaghat to submit a report on Monday.
