To address public health concerns, the district administration Saturday has taken decisive action against the sale of adulterated milk in Abbottabad and discarded 500kg of substandard milk after checking and imposed one Lakh rupees fine.
According to the details, a team of district administration led by Additional Assistant Commissioner Ali Sher Khan Khaleel and District Director Live Stock Akbar Ali conducted a comprehensive inspection at various places in the city, resulting in the disposal of over 500 liters of substandard milk. The team also imposed a fine of one lakh rupees and many shopkeepers were served with notices.
The inspection was carried out by a specialized team of Live Stock s, who utilized a mobile laboratory to collect milk samples from milk shops and milk tankers.
