Under the directives of the Director General Food Authority, the Food Safety Teams launched a major crackdown in Bhawana, seizing a milk tanker, destroying 1,800 liters of adulterated milk, and arresting the accused.

According to the spokesperson of the Food Authority, the supplier’s vehicle bearing registration number RIN-2771 was found transporting fake and hazardous milk. On-the-spot testing revealed that the milk was unfit for human consumption.
