Yesterday, Assam Legislative Assembly speaker had issued instructions to a shopkeeper to vacate his shop which is situated at the Old MLA Hostel complex in Dispur.

The shopkeeper named Subhas Barman was asked to clear the area because a new residential multistoried building for MLAs will be constructed at the complex.

In regard to this, Barman was asked to vacate the shop by January 20 without fail.

The notice was issued by the estate officer as per directions of the speaker of the Assam assembly.
