Big dam consignment!

By AT News |

Four burgers carrying a huge consignment on the river Brahmaputra seems to have generated no less anxiety among the big dam protesters across the state.

Amid tight security, the burgers were seen leaving towards Arunachal Pradesh on Saturday morning at the Pandu Ghat in Guwahati amid speculations of NHPC authority’s fresh attempt to procure big dam turbines.

But the security personnel guarding the burgers are tightlipped on the consignment. However, there was no confirmation on the consignment and destination.
