40 liters adulterated milk seized at Verka

Ludhiana : About 40 litres of adulterated milk was seized by security guards manning the main gate of the Verka milk plant on the Ferozepore road while a vehicle driver tried to whisk away with the milk adulterated with water here today. Verka authorities have, however, discontinued the contract of the transporter. Manager (Procurement), Verka, Jaswant Singh Kang, said the tempo (PB 10 BU 3055) on route no. 6 brought about 40 liters of adulterated milk on the premises today. After checking the quality of the milk, the driver was asked to throw it in the dumping bin. But the driver kept the 40-liter can again in his tempo. The security guards stopped the vehicle and seized the adulterated milk, which was dumped by authorities later on. “It is otherwise a routine affair. We get the milk in bulk from about 800 nearby villages. The supply comes from various collection centres both in the morning and the evening. More than 60 vehicles drivers have been given the job of bringing the milk to Verka. During the entire exercise, we do get adulterated milk. After testing milk everyday, the unfit milk is drained.
