"Our serious attention has been drawn to the news reports published in the media about the blueprint trading system without any basis or evidence. Blueprint Trading is a company that imports diapers for children in Nepal,” said Hemant Bajagain, Managing Director of the company, in a statement on Saturday.
The company has not imported sanitary pads since its inception. "We inform the general public through this press release that the news published/ broadcast without any basis is detrimental to the value of our company," the statement said.
