Duplicate cement seized

Police seized 1.5 tonnes of duplicate cement packed in 300 bags and arrested the driver of the truck carrying it at Chagharia Chowk on NH-5(A) under Kendrapara Sadar police limits on Wednesday night. Sources said a racket selling duplicate cement is operational in Kendrapara and its nearby areas. The gang uses bags of reputed companies to fool customers and sell the cement at a lower rate, said Tapas Pradhan, IIC of Kendrapara Sadar police station. Following a tip-off from a trader a Marsaghai -bound truck that was unloading such cement at various places was stopped and taken to police station. The driver could not produce papers to show that the cement bags were of a particular company, added the police officer. The driver used to bring such cement from Jagatapur to be sold in Kendrapara and its nearby areas.
