Official sources said here today that the order has been issued yesterday by the DC banning transportation of all essential commodities to the neighbouring states of Assam and Manipur in order to maintain the limited stocks of the essential commodities following the economic blockade imposed by the activists of All Assam Students' Union.
The order also requested all traders of Dimapur town not to send essential items to any neighbouring states not to create artificial scarcity of essential commodities.
