Sonowal has also requested the citizens to purchase other local products during this Diwali.

“This Diwali, if you are planning to purchase or gift something unique for your loved ones, take a look at the world-famous Eri Silks, a warm and non-violent local product from Assam. #Local4Diwali,” the chief minister office (CMO) tweeted.
