supply but the officials were selling them after dumping them with the
help of Local National Conference activist.

are using every means to pressurize Tehslidar for covering up the
issue as he had demanded records from the department which they
haven’t.” they said, adding officials have drawn bills of seized pipes
which is worrying them the most.
