The consignment of CTC tea was on its way to the auction centre in Guwahati from Dewan tea plantation, the largest tea garden in the Barak valley owned by the B.K. Birla group’s Jayashree Tea and Industries Limited.
A police source said the truck’s driver and cleaner are also missing.
The truck belongs to a transport company called ERC Carrier, which has its headquarters in Silchar.
The general manager of Dewan tea estate, P.K. Mishra, met district superintendent of police Dipak Choudhury to request for a speedy search.
Cachar police suspect that the truck may have been taken to Haflong, prompting them to alert their Dima Hasao counterparts.
