Deputy Commissioner Food Safety Umesh Pratap said the Food Safety Department is continuously taking action under a special drive in which information was received. A raid was carried out at the scene in which a large quantity of sweets were recovered. Spoiled and moldy sweets were also found nearby. In such a situation, it seems that there was a preparation to prepare a new sweet by mixing these sweets. The price of all this sweet will be in thousands of rupees. In this matter, we have taken several samples and have pasted a notice here that the business will remain prohibited until the samples are tested. At the same time, after this action by the Food Safety Department, there is a fear among residents across the district that people were setting out to sell sweet poison, playing with common life out of greed for some money.
