After the fake milk making factory came to the fore in Rajgarh, the investigation of milk and its products has been intensified in the state. After the instructions of Commissioner Food Security, 1243 samples were taken from all over the state in 3 days. During this, 1900 kg mawa worth Rs 4 lakh was seized. Along with this, action for suspension of license of two and cases of 3 have been presented in the court.

In fact, after the Holi festival and the disclosure of making fake milk, Commissioner Food Safety Sudam Khade had given instructions to collect samples of milk and products made from it across the state. Along with this, it was made clear that strict action should be taken if adulterated or spurious milk is found. After this, the staff who swung into action took 1243 samples breaking the record between March 2 and 4.

Talking about the capital, the target which the Food Safety Officer used to do in a month, was completed in just three days. The reason is that Bhopal gets a permanent designated officer. Due to this the entire staff came to the ground and continuous action was taken. More than 100 samples have been taken in the district.
