Bhubaneswar, Aug 27 (PTI) The authorities have seized two containers with huge quantities of gold and silver ornaments in Bhubaneswar, a senior official said on Tuesday.
The gross weight of the gold packets was 87 kg but the net weight may be low, said Ajay Kumar Sethy, Joint Commissioner of Commercial Taxes here.
An investigation has been initiated into this matter.
