The Animal Resources Development Department (ARDD) Minister Sudhangshu Das ordered an investigation on Friday after discovering expired medicines and irregularities in the stock.
Minister Das paid a surprise visit to the Animal Resources Development Department office at Bairagi Bazar located in the Sonamura sub-division of Sepahijala district.
"After entering the office, the Minister was shocked to find a discrepancy in the stock of animal medicines and also discovered many expired ones. When he inquired about the matter with the office in-charge, the latter couldn't provide a satisfactory response," said an official who preferred to remain anonymous.
Following the incident, Minister Das instructed officials to secure the office in the presence of local MLA Kishore Barman.
