| Abstract: |
Madhya Pradesh Health Minister Tulsiram Silavat on Monday said National Security Act would be invoked against all those involved in supplying highly toxic synthetic milk to branded outlets across several states, PTI reported. Last week, the Madhya Pradesh Police had arrested 62 people and busted a racket involved in manufacturing these milk products.“The government has decided to impose NSA against those producing and selling synthetic [adulterated] milk and allied products,” Silavat told the news agency. The National Security Act allows for preventive detention of people who are perceived as a threat to national security or law and order. Silavat said 255 samples of milk, cottage cheese, butter and condensed milk were collected over the last two days after reports on adulteration surfaced. He said National Security Act would be invoked once the lab reports come. |
