Ujjain: Admin cracks the whip on sellers of adulterated sweets during festive season

Ujjain: The food safety department will clamp down heavily on shopkeepers and vendors selling adulterated sweets and ‘mawa’ during this festival season. The city administration has taken the decision to impose the National Security Act against offenders, in view of the huge volumes of sweets consumed during Dushhera and Diwali. Collector Sanket Bhondve and SP Sachin Atulkar have instructed the health department to keep a strict vigil in this regard.
These decisions were taken at a meeting which the collector held with SDMs and SDOs of the district. He also gave several orders regarding safety and security, during the festival season. He further instructed officials to ensure that the Explosives Act was complied with, for the use of firecrackers. During the meet, ADM Narendra Suryavanshi informed that all 29 cases registered under NSA had been solved. A total of 305 cases of detention were registered, out of which 103 cases were retracted, due lack of evidence and around 50 percent of cases registered under NSA were cancelled.
The collector also gave orders for the auction of vehicles seized in various cases under the excise act, mineral act and others. He called for the formation of a committee for the purpose, and issuance of a corrigendum of auction. Total registered arms in district stood at 5700, the ADM informed. The collector and SP called for strict action against those in illegal possession of arms and cancellation of arms licenses of those with criminal records.
