March 3, 2021
PESHAWAR: The district administration claimed to have seized a huge quantity of fake tea and arrested four accused here on Tuesday.
The officials raided factories on Ashraf Road and Hashtnagri and recovered 18700 kilograms of fake tea, chemicals and other unhygienic material used in the fake tea, said a press release.
Four accused were also arrested from these factories and cases had been registered against them, it added.
The administration had expedited action against the adulterated food items across the district. It has also requested citizens to inform administration of such elements for timely action.
Around 80 kilogrammes of polythene bags were also taken into possession from different shops on Phandu Road.
Additional assistant commissioner Aftab Ahmad made the raid on the shop on the directives of deputy commissioner Khalid Mahmood. The district administration has launched crackdown on use of polythene bags in light of the provincial government’s ban on the environmentally hazardous stuff.
The deputy commissioner has warned the traders against stern legal proceedings if they indulged in sale and purchase of plastic shopping bags. He has directed all the additional assistant commissioners to implement the government’s directives to this effect in letter and spirit.
