Under the leadership of Assistant Director of Civil Supplies Department Deepa Fulari, a team comprising Inspector Rajiv Sawant of Bardez Division, Sub-Inspector Sarvesh Naik Tuyekar, Vasudev Shirodkar, Rohit Talankar, Sadashiv Khandeparkar and Sub-Inspector Jeevan Palyekar was in Sangolda, when they found an LPG supply vehicle at an isolated place.
The team questioned the driver and the worker of the vehicle about the LPG cylinders, but they fled from the spot. The team found 38 commercial gas cylinders, comprising 18 sealed and 20 unsealed cylinders at the site.
A gas agency's book was found in the tempo with the cylinders, fuelling suspicion that the LPG cylinder stock belongs to the agency.
All the LPG cylinders seized along with the vehicle were later handed over to Saligao police for action.
In this regard, the assistant director of the department, Deepa Fulari, has lodged a complaint with the police. Saligao police are conducting further investigation in the matter.
