    These illegally filled old/substandard cylinders are potential bombs which can take away many innocent lives in case they malfunction!! Surprising that such a large setup went unnoticed by the authorities!!!

    Good catch by Bantwal police. Now all should check the new cylinders by weighing on the scale, to check the correct weight.

    Police have a good job.

    It is like playing with fire or a time bomb.

    Such unscrupulous and professionally unqualified guys may put others life at high risk.
