KANPUR:
In a drive against adulterated and synthetic 'khoya', the Food and Drug
Authority (FDA) officials on Tuesday raided the Khoya mandi in Govind
Nagar locality. The FDA officials confiscated seven quintals of
allegedly adulterated khoya and destroyed it later.
Following a tip off, the FDA team lead by Yogendra Kumar, Additional City Magistrate (ACM), Kanpur Nagar, raided the Khoya mandi at Govind Nagar on Tuesday afternoon. The team was also accompanied by police force. The FDA team collected various samples of khoya from the mandi and sent it for adulteration test.
A large quantity of unidentified khoya was seized as well. Despite the best efforts of team no one claimed the seized stuff.
The ACM informed that during the inspection, approximately seven quintals of 'mawa' or khoya was seized from the Mandi. The brokers and khoya sellers ran away from the spot after seeing the FDA and police vans.
"When nobody come forward to claim the khoya, it was destroyed by adjudging the same as adulterated. The entire khoya was thrown in Govind Nagar drain. The team also collected samples of khoya from the Mandi," added the ACM.
He informed that keeping in mind the Holi festival and dumping of adulterated khoya in various mandis of the city, the district administration was making continuous raid in mandis and other areas where sale of khoya is being done in large quantity.
The FDA team also raided two sweets shops and took legal action against a shop for burning kerosene oil in making sweets. The team seized around 55 liter of kerosene oil from the shop in Govind Nagar area.
"As the sweet samples are yet to be traced as adulterated, the shopkeepers have been released. If the item is found adulterated, strict actions will be taken," added ACM.
