Kamrup district administration on Monday prohibited the sale of Assamese attires made of genuine Assam Silk and imported Benarasi silk in the same shop from Monday in the district.
The order was notified by Deputy Commissioner S K Roy under Section 144 of the CrPC. The silk clothes would have to be sold in separate shops with signboards clearly stating which variety was being stocked.
For protection of the local silk industry, the administration would also search for artificial silk clothes. The process for trade-marking the Sualkuchi silk would also be initiated.
