3 Abohar firms penalised

Fazilka, December 28
Additional Deputy Commissioner-cum-Safety Officer Charandev Singh Maan penalised three Abohar-based firms for violating the Food Safety Act this evening.

As per officials sources, Food Inspector Kamalpreet Singh took two samples of cheese and flour from Lotus Resort and Restaurant and Hotel Heaven View in Abohar some time back. The result of the samples was produced before the ADC this evening.
The result suggested that the samples of cheese and flour taken failed to qualify the standard tests. After listening to the arguments from the representatives of the hotel and the restaurant, the ADC imposed a penalty to the tune of Rs 5,000 on Heaven View authorities and Rs 10,000 on Lotus Resort and Restaurant.
The ADC also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the wholesale grocery firm, Arjun Dass Nathu Ram, from where the Lotus Resort and Restaurant had reportedly purchased the flour. The ADC warned the firms to sell quality food items by adhering to the Food Safety Act failing which they would be dealt with sternly.
