Stop food adulteration during Ramadan

During Ramadan, road-side shops sell different types of food. They may look very tempting but they are often kept in unhygienic conditions. Many of the sellers use harmful chemicals on fruits to store them. 

The authorities should remain vigilant to ensure vendors are not selling customers adulterated food. Carrying out proper testing is a must. Mobile courts should carry out regular operations to ensure adulterated food are kept off the streets during this month.
