Abstract: An influential Jammu-based civil society group on Thursday expressed serious concern over the rampant adulteration of food and milk items across the state. As per a statement, the senior functionaries of "We The Human" a public charitable trust, addressed a press conference at Press Club Jammu, expressing deep concern over day by day increasing use of poisonous toxic chemicals in food, milk and milk products, especially during on-going festive season. They termed the role of enforcement agencies as worst in this regard saying that they have adopted indifferent approach and have failed to set up required infrastructural facilities & posting of requisite fully equipped enforcement staff, with food technology backgrounds, on strategic locations including borders of the state with Pakistan, Punjab & Himachal, despite regular monitoring of the J&K High Court since last few years.
