Effective enforcement will change bad practices of FBO s. Well done. !
ReplyDeleteSince there are many units using the same chemicals why not effective enforcement to those is questionable.
ReplyDeleteSince wet starch is unloaded in 2factories why no action against those factory who is unloading the same.
Wet Starch buyers and wet starch storage by self in their custody could not manufacture Sago without chemical. Since after 24Hrs wet starch will become Industrial grade.
