JAMMU, Oct 29: Raman Suri, Executive Member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu & Kashmir today asked the Government to immediately launch a comprehensive campaign to inspect and monitor food items, ensuring that the public is protected from substandard and adulterated products.
In a statement issued here today, he said, “Food Safety Officers must be deployed in full strength, and the Health and Medical Education Department should extend complete cooperation to the Food Safety Department so that no one can play with people’s lives.”
Raman Suri was referring to samples of Desi Ghee and Paneer which were found to be adulterated in recent days in Jammu and Kashmir. He expressed deep concern over the alarming revelation that several Desi F\Ghee samples produced by different companies have failed quality tests, exposing a grave threat to public health.
In the last three days alone, samples of Desi Ghee from six companies have failed laboratory tests conducted across the country, which confirmed adulteration with vegetable oil. Suri said that this shocking disclosure clearly demonstrates how some manufacturers are compromising people’s health for mere profits.
