According to Director General of the DoCSM, Shambhu Koirala, the oil was destroyed after the Department of Food Technology And Quality Control division deemed it inedible.
The oil had arrived in Nepal two weeks after Great Earthquake hit Nepal on April 25. The other relief items that were brought along with oil are under scrutiny, Koirala said.
