On the other hand, at around 11 am on Wednesday, as soon as the Excise Department was informed about the recovery of the ganjas, a team of Excise Department officials arrived at the New Haflong Railway Station in Dima Hasao and took over all the ganja packets.
There were a total of 40 packets of ganja.
