Staff Reporter Guwahati: At a time when the people of Assam dont want any intrusion from outside agencies, the Assam government has faced the ire of the indigenous people when it signed an agreement through Purabi Dairy with Gujarat-based NDDB, depriving the local farmers of their dues. As a result, on August 16, the Sitajakhala Dugdha Utpadak Samabai Samity threw away about 1,000 litres of milk into the Killing river in Jagiroad in protest against the State governments alleged irregularities and syndicateraj in the Dairy sector.
