Local Administration Minister N.G. Pannir Selvam has warned of stringent action against those who sell substandard and expired food stuff at the Puducherry Bus Stand.
Replying to questions in the Assembly on Monday, Mr. Pannir Selvam said stringent action would be taken under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 against those who sell such food products.
A separate wing under the Excise Department has been functioning to check if shopkeepers were selling packaged food above the maximum retail price.
Awareness programes and effective action in enforcement is what is needed.
