Today, a team from the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption in Assam conducted a successful operation resulting in the apprehension of Mantu Kalita, a Gram Rozgar Sahayak (GRS).

The alleged bribe was reportedly demanded by Kalita for facilitating the allotment of a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).
