ITANAGAR: Chief Minister Pema Khandu assured Assam-based public sector
Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) on Saturday of supplying bamboo for bio-fuel, extending a 2015 pact to supply 300,000 tons of bamboo annually.
This would offer a permanent source of revenue for bamboo farmers in the state, he said. Deputy CM Chowna Mein asked NRL's assurances on market availability for bamboo producers and a buyback policy so that bamboo farmers do not suffer loss.
