JHAPA: A cooking gas dealer’s shop was sealed after it was found that he was involved in black- marketing in Damak of Jhapa on Thursday.

An entrepreneur of Kshitz Electronic was accused of involvement in selling the half cylinder of Koshi Gas.

A team deployed from Area Administration Office, Damak had found 63 cylinders hidden inside his house. Locals complained that they had to return empty-handed though the dealer had cylinders with him.

Ksitiz Electronic might have been tempted with the money as he would make Rs 4,000 per cylinder if the cylinders reached Kathmandu.
