| Food PIL: Posting FSC seems distant dream, says HC | | |
Early Times Report
Srinagar, Feb 28: The State High Court today observed that posting of Food Safety Commissioner appears to be a distant dream even as it ordered police to provide assistance to official squads during their checking of food items for adulteration in the state.
"Posting of FSC still appears to be a distant dream. Only interim arrangement has been made. The authorities were impressed upon to appoint a suitable officer on the post. We are not satisfied with the reasons given by the state. For the last 8 months nothing has been done except creation of post of FSC," a division bench of the court said while hearing a Public Interest Litigation.
Subsequently, the court granted three weeks to the authorities whom it asked to take all necessary steps for filling up of the post along with strengthened staff. In case of default , the court directed that authorities shall appear in person before the court. For making the Srinagar and Jammu laboratories fully functional, the court was informed that these labs have been equipped with required machinery and apparatus have been installed in both the labs.
Assistant Commissioner food Srinagar submitted that special squad has been formed and some action has been initiated against the unit holders, shopkeepers and also against the vendors for preparing and selling adulterated and unhygienic food. However, he said that they face certain security concern during checking as they are being attacked by the offenders.
Consequently, the court directed the SSPs of concerned districts to provide all assistance wherever they require protection. The court directed that copy of the order be sent of all SSPs for compliance. |
