Archana Scrap Centre in Katunje, Sallaghari and Shiva Shakti Suppliers in Suryabinayak were booked for selling new zinc roofing sheets and engaging in black marketing.“As they are licensed to carry out trading in second-hand products, they are not permitted to sell new goods,” he added.Considering the massive surge in demand for zinc roofing sheets due to the large-scale destruction caused by the earthquake, the government has directed manufacturers to sell their products only through assigned dealers in the disaster zones.
Koirala said the scrap dealers were found selling bundles of Hulas and Arati zinc sheets which they had purchased from the company. “We are also planning to question company officials as we suspect that the manufacturers have been involved,” he said.According to the DoCSM, it has asked Abadhes Kumar Gupta, proprietor of Shiva Shankar Sah Shop, and Lal Mohan Prasad, proprietor of Shiva Shakti Suppliers, to appear at the department with the proper paperwork.“We have also written to the Nepal Police to take action against these shop owners under Black Marketing and Some Other Social Offenses and Punishment Act 1975 for selling zinc sheets in contravention of their licences,” said Ratnesh Shashi, monitoring officer at the department.
