KATHMANDU, Dec 15: Locals seized two Indian trucks importing chicken for KFC, an international food chain, at Dharke, Dhading on Saturday afternoon.

Police fired three rounds of tear gas canisters after the tension mounted with the locals in Dharke. Locals even obstructed a government quarantine team for inspection.



KFC has been importing chicken from Thailand citing that the Nepali products don´t match their international standard.
