According to District Police Chief Sudip Giri, the police put in place special investigation after a complaint was lodged stating Rs 1.46 million was stolen on December 8 from a room of Cheese Production Centre operated under Diary Development Committee in Gatlang.[break]
The amount was robbed by breaking the iron-made safe after blindfolding two of its employees, Govinda Gurung and Prem Jirel.
The centre, which has set its goal of producing 9,000 kgs of cheese and 2,500 kgs of curd items every year, has faced a setback when the amount meant to provide to yak-keeping farmers in advance was robbed from the centre, Panthi further said.
