Toxic fruits

Our country has long been regarded as a land of fruits. Each and every season comes with its colourful fruits such as guava, black berry, wood apple, litchi, watermelon, jackfruits and mango, the king of fruits. In fact, we see that our markets are flooded with different types of mouth-watering fruits in different seasons of the year, particularly in the rainy season. But little we know how fresh and safe are these fruits. We come to know from different sources like newspapers that different toxic materials like formalin are being used so that the fruits do not rot very easily and look very attractive. Common people are consuming these unhygienic fruits unknowingly and consequently suffering from various fatal diseases like cancer, and typhoid. It seems that these fruit vendors have lost their humanity for earning money. And they are running their illegal business in front of the law enforcing agencies.
We hope that the authorities will wake up from their deep slumber and ensure safe and fresh fruits for people.
