Mangalore : A fuel godown at Hoigebazar in Mangalore was raided by officials of the Department of Food and Civil Supplies on June 5, Wednesday. Sources said the raid was done after the department received complaints that diesel and kerosene oil had been illegally stored in the godown.

As the owner of the godown was not present, the officials sealed the godown and said it would be opened later in the presence of the godown owner. It is said one Damodar Karkera owns the godown.

It is worth mentioning here that  fuel stocked illegally had been seized from this godown a few months ago.
