| Abstract: |
The High Court yesterday directed the Anti-Corruption Commission to enquire about the adulteration of milk, curd and cattle feed and to take legal action against those found responsible. The court also ordered the authorities concerned of the government to form a probe committee to identify in three months the individuals and businesses involved in adulteration of dairy products and cattle feed. Issuing a suo moto (voluntary) rule, the court also directed the authorities to form another committee to find whether the adulterated products and cattle feed contained lead, antibiotics, bacteria, pesticides or other elements that are harmful to the human body. The tests should repeat every six months. Findings of the tests should be uploaded to the website of the Food Safety Authority (Nirapad Khadya Kartripakkha) and available for the public. |
