Dibrugarh: A magisterial inquiry has been ordered on Saturday into Friday’s firing incident at the Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL) project site at Lepetkata in Dibrugarh district in which one person was killed and three others got injured.
Dibrugarh Deputy Commissioner Aruna Rajoria has directed Additional Deputy Commissioner PK Rajkhowa to conduct the inquiry and submit the report within a week.
