Sirsa, May 1
A team of the State Vigilance Bureau (SVB) today raided a factory supplying “clean drinking RO water” to people in containers and unearthed a big fraud of playing with the health of residents.
The team went to a unit situated on the Dabwali road in Sirsa along with a Duty Magistrate appointed by the Deputy Commissioner, Dr J Ganesan, and Food Safety Officer Mahabir Singh.
The factory owner decamped after noticing the team.
The team noticed that the factory did not have a filter to clear the water of impurities.
The factory had no reverse osmosis system to purify the water before its supply to the users.
Instead, the factory owner had been supplying plain tap water to people.
On testing, the total dissolved solids (TDS) in the water supplied by the factory was found to be 400, while in the bottled mineral water purchased from the market, it was found to be 35.
It was found that while the factory was supplying water to the shops and offices in Sirsa town, the owner had no licence to run his business.
The Food Safety Officer has taken samples of drinking water. Mahabir Singh said the samples of water would be sent to laboratory.
