BSS, Dhaka :
The government has decided to engage 10 more magistrates for conducting mobile courts against food adulteration.
“We have taken a decision to stop food and seasonal fruits adulteration in the wake of massive adulteration across the country,” Director General (DG) to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Kabir Bin Anwar told BSS Tuesday.
He said the public administration ministry will engage officers to conduct mobile court for one month duration. The magistrates would conduct mobile court along with the existing courts.
He said the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is committed to stop food and seasonal fruits adulteration in the country.
In line with the government’s stand, the PMO office also held a meeting in this regard recently and instructed authorities concerned to take stern action against such adulteration, Kabir Bin Anwar said.
A vested group of people in the name of business is involved using chemical, carbide and formalin with seasonal fruits, fish and other food items for reaping extra profit, the DG said.
He said all deputy commissioners including Dhaka have been instructed to conduct mobile court against use of the deadly chemicals with food items.
