Mumbai, 18 Aug

(HS): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has appreciated work of FDA

Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe in taking action against spurious food products,

which are harming public health.

FDA is taking

action against hotels, dairies and shops and cancelling their permits on a

daily basis.

Fadnavis told

the media when asked about Mundhe’s drive against spurious food materials being

sold in the markets is a welcome step and added that FDA should continue with

the mission.

Deputy Chief

Minister Eknath Shinde held a meeting with Mundhe on August 11 and said the

adulteration in milk and dairy products will be punished under Maharashtra

Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). He said that any loopholes in the

existing law should not be available for the criminals to escape the punishment

from playing with the health of public.
