BAGMATI, JANUARY 27
Bara District Administration Office has sealed off Shiva Shakti Bio Planttec Industry for illegally producing toxic substances.
The administration has advanced steps to take actions against the industry located in Chainpur of Parwanipur, Bara.
The administration office said the industry was found producing toxic substances despite taking permission to produce organic fertiliser. The industry has been producing toxic substances for the past 12 years and was thus sealed off.
Assistant Chief District Officer of Bara Devraj Sedhain said the company would be investigated for cheating consumers and for illegally producing toxic matters.
The industry's involvement in the production of toxic substances was revealed after the Area Police Office Bhandara in Chitwan seized a truck carrying toxic goods worth Rs one million on January 15. Police had also arrested Santosh Shah and two others of Sarlahi district working in the factory.
Indian nationals Rama Kant Bharati, Kamal Kant Singh and Sanjit Raya Yadav are investors in the industry. Following the revelation of their involvement, the three are at large, Bara District Police Office said.
