KATHMANDU, March 20: Lawmakers have demanded legal action against those involved in bringing illegal electronic cigarettes (vapes) in a vehicle heading to Kathmandu from the Tatopani customs.
In today's meeting of the House of Representatives, Lawmaker Ganga Karki said that a truck (Na 6 Kha 5496), coming from the Tatopani customs checkpoint to Kathmandu, was seized by the temporary police post in Khursanibari, Bahrabise. It was found that the truck belongs to Min Bahadur Gurung, the owner of Bhat-Bhateni Supermarket.

Earlier, MP Manish Jha urged the government to identify the owner of the Rs 250 million seized a few days ago. He emphasized that black marketing can not be controlled by merely arresting porters. He raised objections to similar incidents where the owners of illegal goods were given immunity, despite the arrest of the porters.
