Commodity: All Food
Abstract: The colossal damage to human health caused by rampant adulteration in important day to day items of consumption needs to be honestly assessed by the State Administration if it can manage some time to be devoted towards this problem having assumed alarming proportions. Milk, curds, cheese , ghee, spices, manufactured food items, pulses and vegetables , even fruits are all in one way or the other reaching the household all adulterated in one way or the other. Even medicines were not free from this malady of adulteration or being of sub-standard levels. Those in charge of “curbing ” the menace and “penalising ” the offenders are very often alleged to believe in ‘fixing matches’ . Yes, they are turning their eyes to the other side thus violating the purpose , aim and the need of employing them in the specific Government job.
