AALO, Apr 6: The West Siang district administration has entrusted the agriculture department with the task of collecting local vegetables from Nyiko Bango for sale in the township areas here.
Progressive farmers in villages like Kabu, Darka, Rigo and Kamdi have also expressed readiness to bring vegetables in phases for sale, in order to do away with importing vegetables from Assam.
