DHANGADI, Nov 13: The Salt Trading Corporation has refuted the rumor that the Far Western Development region was witnessing the shortage of salt. 

The regional office chief Keshav Prasad Pandey has said that the STC has salt in stock for the next seven months in the depots required for the region. Hence, news related to its shortage was just a baseless.
