Dairy Raided, Contraband Seized
In an unexpected raid on Raghavendra Dairy located on ITI Road in the Bhind district of Madhya Pradesh, the administration confiscated a significant quantity of adulterated milk, harmful chemicals, and food items. This decisive action was taken on October 17, 2026, following directives from Collector Pawan Kumar Jain.
The operation was spearheaded by Additional Collector Rajan B Nadia, accompanied by a special investigation team comprising एसडीएम Mahendra Saunjanya, Tehsildar Arvind Sharma, and Food Safety Officer Rekha Soni. With the presence of police personnel, the team seized approximately 6000 liters of milk, along with dangerous substances such as sorbitol, caustic soda, and hydrogen peroxide.
Unsatisfactory Explanations and Sample Collection
When questioned about the presence of these hazardous chemicals, dairy in-charge Sanjeev Kumar was unable to provide any satisfactory explanation. In the absence of the dairy's proprietor, Raghavendra Singh Tomar, the team collected samples of milk and ghee in accordance with the Food Safety and Standards Act.
Items seized included 83 liters of Amrit brand ghee, 119 kilograms of open ghee, 700 kilograms of sorbitol, and 20 kilograms of caustic soda. The estimated value of the confiscated materials is approximately Rs 1.70 lakh.
License Suspended, Crackdown on Adulterators
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Designated Officer Dr. J.S. Yadav has suspended the food license of Raghavendra Dairy with immediate effect. This strict administrative action has sent shockwaves among other adulterators in the city.
Officials emphasized that tampering with the health of the general public will not be tolerated under any circumstances, and such surprise inspections will continue to ensure the purity of food items. The collected samples are being sent to the laboratory for testing, and further legal action will be taken based on the report. The administration reiterated that no individual or entity compromising public health will be spared.
