DEHRADUN: City police on Friday raided a cement factory and arrested two persons supplying inferior quality and expired cement in Patel Nagar.
The police said that the two accused were part of a gang that used to procure expired cement from Delhi and Haryana and then mix it with good cement at the factory in Patel Nagar to earn more profit. Police are now procuring records of people who have been supplied the inferior quality cement to prevent any accidents.
