It may not be the real intention of the Government to shield the culprits of Khyber Agro Farms Ltd. of Budgam but the manner in which it has failed to appoint Standing Counsel for Food Safety Department of Budgam strengthens the belief that there are covert efforts to let the indicted company go scot free. Last year a random sample of this company’s milk product was found contaminated with detergent and a case was registered against it by the Food Safety Department before a magistrate of Budgam. Even the court remarked that if the Department has become so poor as not to afford a Standing Counsel, let it apply to the court and the court would do the rest of it. This is a clear case of an attempt at shielding the culprits. May be the Khyber Agro Farms Ltd. enjoys a strong political clout and would want that the case is hushed up by dragging it on indefinitely. It will be a sad day if the Government plays with the health of hundreds of thousands of people in such a brazen case. Interestingly in the March last the Srinagar Municipal authorities lifted at random a curd sample from this company which was also found to be contaminated by the testing laboratories in Kolkata. Even then the Standing Counsel has not been appointed. This is not the way how things can improve. Somebody has to be held responsible for delaying the judicial process in this case.
