Sir,
The historic judgment of the Jammu and Kashmir High court recently announced against adulteration is all welcome and one of the biggest steps towards attempting to safeguarding the health of the people of the State. The court has imposed a penalty of Rs.30 crore to those whose products were found adulterated and unsafe for human consumption.
The observations of the court are indicative of the prevalence in some traders about the unhealthy and unethical practice of adulteration in eatables. The court has observed that unfortunately some people are now trading in human miseries without realizing as to how many people must have suffered from diseases after consuming the adulterated stuff. The administration must arise to the occasion and take strict action against the persons found indulging in adulteration. There must be establishment of scientific laboratories and other infrastructure available in Srinagar and Jammu for fast system of testing the adulterated eatables to enable the investigating agencies to speed up the process of prosecution and court proceedings.
Yours etc….
