The Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs department seized 35 commercial cylinders which had been transported illegally to the state from Punjab.
Food Controller Narinder Dhiman said they had received several complaints about gas agencies from neighbouring states selling commercial cylinders in the state.
The cylinders were headed for Rajpura in Punjab from the Lalru-based gas plant of Bharat Gas. They were, however, diverted to Shogi where the agency had availed a GST number and cylinders were being sold further.
