Rajasthan: The Rajasthan high court showed its disappointment over the supply of adulterated milk in Rajasthan and ordered the state government to test milk samples every day.
The high court issued notices and sought reply from the chief secretary, principal secretary, food and consumer affairs, all district collectors and chief medical and health officers (CMHOs).
The two-judge bench of chief justice Arun Mishra and Justice NK Jain gave the order on Thursday while taking cognisance of the cases of supply of adulterated milk.
The bench said that all government officials should start making efforts for stopping supply of adulterated milk to the consumers. It directed the government to test 100 samples of milk every day in each district of the state and draft a report over the results. The report will be produced on February 6 when the next hearing has been scheduled.
The Food safety and standards authority of India (FSSAI), in its report, pointed out about the adulteration in milk products across the country. In Rajasthan, 76 per cent of the milk samples were found adulterated. The adulterants included detergents, besides water.
The report said that 108 samples were collected for the testing in which 78 were found adulterated. The worrying part of the study was its conclusion that the ‘packed milk’ was not absolutely safe. The issue was highlighted in several sections of media. After the publication of the reports, the high court took cognisance and issued notices to the officials.
