CFC Gas Dump

Around 19 tonnes of chloro-floro carbon (CFC) gas is lying useless in a godown of Biratnagar customs for the past nine years. Kathmandu-based Heritage Company was importing the gas when the government banned it following a Supreme Court order saying that CFC is a major cause of depletion of ozone layer. The stock in the godown is polluting the surroundings. Trans Nepal, is the company which runs the godown on lease basis.
