It has been reported that in recent times, farmers and traders in the state are facing problems in sending areca nuts to other parts of the country, including Assam, due to Assam Police’s obstruction at the Churaibari check post.

As a result, areca nut farmers and traders are facing disruptions in their livelihood.

When the matter came to notice, the government took initiatives so that areca growers and traders could send their produce to Assam and other states of the country without any hassle.

However, the matter still remains unresolved.
The Chief Minister of the state Dr Manik Saha spoke to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma over the phone regarding the matter for protecting the livelihood of areca nut farmers and traders and finding out possible solution.

Chief Minister Dr Saha also requested the Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma’s direct intervention by writing a letter to resolve the issue.
