KASUR, March 5: Kasur police on Sunday sealed three chemical string manufacturing units and seized twine and other material worth Rs5.3 million.

Disclosing this to reporters, DPO Syed Ahmed Mobeen said the action was taken on instructions of Punjab IGP Ziaul Hasan Khan, who had got information about the units and supply of chemical coated string from Kasur to Lahore.

The DPO said that he constituted a team, headed by ASP Syed Ali Mohsin, and directed it to locate units and put them under surveillance. He said these units were raided when they were offloading two truckloads of chemicals used in the string making.
