Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said that 435 land brokers have been picked up by police for their involvement in illegal land dealings.
“453 land brokers picked up so far in continuing raids by @assampolice in our concerted pledge to end #AssamFightsDalalRaj. This notorious practice of brokers/dalals in revenue offices harassing commoners must end. Our fight against nefarious activities will go on relentlessly” Sharma tweeted.
