Police have created a lot of drop gates and checking points in Pulwama district and while checking a load carrier which was apparently filled with grass they found a lot of rice bags illegally smuggled out from FCI department.

According to the police they seized 45 bags of rice belonging to the Food Corporation of India (FCI) being allegedly ferried illicitly in a grass-laden load carrier in Pulwama when they were on a routine check of vehicles.
