Chakan police impound tankers of adulterated fuel

India’s police force has been cracking down on the production, distribution and sale of adulterated fuel. Police actions have included the seizure of five tankers carrying adulterated fuel at Kharabwadi in Chakan, in the Pune district of the state of Maharashtra, and the impounding of three additional tankers reportedly used in mixing the oil. Engine lubricant was also seized from two factories in Wadgaon Maval, thought to be the location for the production of adulterated lubricants. (July 16, 2011)
