Police Deployed to Monitor Gas Depots Amidst Black Market Concerns

Kathmandu. Following information about black marketing of cooking gas, plainclothes police will be deployed at various gas depots in the Kathmandu Valley in coordination between the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.

Although there is no problem with gas import from India, Minister of Industry Gauri Yadav has taken an interest in this matter as continuous complaints and information have been received from consumers at the Ministry of Industry alleging that black marketing is being done by creating an artificial shortage.
