SAMBALPUR: GST officials on Friday raided the premises of a Sambalpur-based garments shop, promoted by two persons, over allegations of tax evasion.
A 15-member GST team along with police raided the premises of the traders who deal in wholesale of readymade garments, located near the Bada Bazaar area of the city.
