Ratlam | Alot, the festival season is going on and there is a possibility of black marketing in this season. There is a race among the traders to get rid of their old stock in this season and the customers also buy the goods without checking them and in such a situation the adulterators are successful in taking out their goods and in such a situation the possibility of an accident remains. The food department remains indifferent throughout the year but at the time of festivals it reaches and completes the formalities due to which the morale of the traders is high. There are many shopkeepers in the city where expired goods are sold openly and no action is taken against them. When a customer takes the goods and checks it, it is found that it is expired goods and when a complaint is made the food department seems a little active and takes immediate action. One such case was seen in the city today. Today on the occasion of Gyaras festival, a consumer purchased Rajgira flour for fasting from Mandaliya grocery store located in the city. When he took it home and checked it, it was found to be expired and the consumer took the matter to the administration. Taking the matter seriously, SDM informed the Ratlam Food Department, after which Food Department Officer Kamlesh Jamre went to Mandaliya Kirana Store in Alot Nagar and took samples, the investigating officer said that after the complaint we visited the shop to take samples, the samples have been collected and will be sent for testing, action will be taken after the test report comes. Earlier also action was taken in the city on the information of selling expired goods but till date no one knows what was its result, now it remains to be seen what kind of major action the Food Department takes in the festive season.
