ALLAHABAD: Samples were collected and stocks of spurious edibles
destroyed during raids carried out at various locations in the city by
three separate teams of the department of food safety and drug

While two teams raided markets of Koran and Phulpur areas, the main team
raided different shops and malls in the city.
