Garhsankar November 25 - The extent to which people who are fond of eating salted food sold in the vicinity of Hoshiarpur city are putting their health at risk was revealed today when District Health Officer Dr. Lakhvir Singh and his food team The food safety team raided a factory supplying namakin in the area in the name of different Breda and saw this factory running in a house in a narrow street near Bhangi Chow making namakin of low quality. The district health officer destroyed the inferior raw materials in this factory, which was running without a food license, and took away the ready-made namakin samples. Food Officer Munish Sodi, Ram Lubaya, Naresh Kumar and Gurwinder Shane from media wing were present in this event.
On this occasion, Dr. Lakhveer Singh said that Naresh Kumar is a resident of UP and because of this he did not even put a board in front of his namakin factory and it is not even visible outside and inside it is making namakin on a large scale. It was lying there and it was being filled there and there was no cap on the head of the person filling it and there were no bullets in his hand. The masala used in the namakin was as poor as if there had been an inferior dye used to make the chana masala and a very poor grade of refide was being used. He also told that all these goods are being sold openly in many shops of the city in the village and these people are playing with the health of the people by feeding them low quality namakin. Their kitchen was so dirty that there were cobwebs around it. On this occasion, they appealed that in the city they are selling namakin packets similar to Breda by adding less namakin and they are selling them with the writings of other regions on the packets showing them good, so this should be seen before buying. That there is a sticker recognized by the government on the food safety license number and only then buy it. He also said that if someone is making and selling such inferior food near your house, contact the food team at the Civil Surgeon's office or telephone, because most of these people are immigrants and small In Jaga, they start their work by taking houses on rent and play with people's health on a large scale. These people are also paying taxes to the Punjab government due to which the Punjab government is also losing millions of rupees.
