Milk Adulteration a Rising Concern!

Milk adulteration, like food adulteration, has become a cause for great concern nowadays. The innocent public is becoming the victim of this mass-scale racket by the milk adulteration mafia.

Recently, this milk adulteration racket was busted by the Food and Drug Administration officials from Bhandup’s Tulshet pada and Sonapur areas in which two members of a gang were apprehended. Acting on a complaint by Bhandup resident, Dilip Patil, that milk produced by reputed companies was sold in pouches which were tampered and the milk adulterated, FDA officials raided two shops in Tulshet pada and on a shop in Sonapur and seized 2,000 litres of adulterated milk. Two adulterators, Vajya Janiya and Gangadhar Sajjai have been arrested in this connection. It has been revealed that milk pouches of different companies, specially Gokul and Mahananda, were slit open and water mixture along with milk. Thereafter, the pouches were neatly re-packed and sold as pure milk. This practice has been previously exposed, too. Milk adulteration touches a high at festival times, especially during Diwali. The FDA raids have created panic among the general public. FDA officials are further investigating the matter.
