According to local doctors such tricks to earn extra margin by traders can be very harmful for kidney.
It should be mentioned here that recently similar incident was noticed in north Gujarat’s Unjha town where Food and Drugs department raided a godown of black til on Visnagar road near Unjha and seized 61 bags(4575 Kg) of til worth Rs. 4,39,200.
When Food and Drug department team led by Deputy Commissioner Dipikaben Chauhan put a small portion of seized black till in water, the water turned into black.
A case was imidiately registered against Unjha’s trader Mafatram Joitaram Patel(M.M.Magajwala).
