Ananta Lal Gyani, Deputy Commissioner of Dhubri after taking over the charge of the district has launched a crusade against all such illegal activities including gambling which are going on unabated here since long.
Till now, more than three clubs within the Dhubri town have already been sealed besides one ending game counter during the drives conducted by district administration.
Until Tuesday, the district police role was under suspicion as a big section of conscious people blamed some corrupt police officers, who allegedly take bribe from the people involved in illegal gambling racket in the town, for allowing such anti-social activities to flourish in every nook and corner of the town in broad day light.
