Following this GST officials conducted sudden raids at 25 locations in Coimbatore including Somayanur, Chinna Thadagam, Periya Thadagam, Saibaba Kovil and Kavundampalayam at 6 am this morning.
Inspections were carried out at 25 locations including KKG Chamber in Periya Thadagam, Vishnu Chamber, Mani Chamber and VKV petrol bunk in Somayanur, brick kilns, and brick kiln owners' houses in places including Kavundampalayam and Saibaba temple.
