Speaking at a press conference, Rongpi called for the cooperation of the forest department.
“Strict document verification will be conducted by our members starting May 18.

He also highlighted challenges faced by the association in recent months due to illegal sand and stone supplies by certain individuals, which have disrupted market prices by undercutting legitimate sellers.
Rongpi emphasised that all suppliers operating within the Diphu town jurisdiction must carry valid documents.
“Due to these illegal activities, our regular business has been affected, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain operations,” he added.
He urged all sand and stone suppliers in Karbi Anglong to ensure they carry proper documentation while conducting business.
