Local body in Tura sets rules for residents

TURA: To prevent untoward incidents from taking place during the festive season, residents of Silanggre under the Silanggre Development Committee in Tura have strictly prohibited the illegal sale of alcohol and other such substances as well as warned of action against those creating nuisance in the locality under the influence of liquor.

The entry of strangers after 10 pm into the locality has also been banned except for extreme emergency cases.
The sale of stones and sand from the locality including plots of land without prior intimation to the Nokma has also been banned.
A fine of Rs 10,000, one cow and one bag of rice has been set as price for violating any of the rules fixed.
