Ahead of Rakhi, when the demand for sweets soar there has been a raid by BMC. This has been done to detect and seize fake paneer in Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha. The crackdown on Analogue or Synthetic paneer in Bhubaneswar has been done by the BMC Health Department.
According to reports, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) has intensified its crackdown on fake curd and paneer in the capital city. BMC Health Department has raided various shops selling traditional sweets.
The team is keeping a close eye on whether the paneer is made using chemicals and unhealthy methods. The Health Department is checking the quality of curd, paneer and other food items used in the preparation of sweets.
It has been reported that, if there is any violation of rules or low quality goods are found, samples will be collected and action will be taken as per the law. Since the demand for sweets increases during the festival, this crackdown is being carried out to stop the sale of fake curd and paneer. BMC has said that strict action will be taken against traders who use fake paneer in Bhubaneswar.
With the raids and crackdown, it seems as if paneer has disappeared from the markets. Vegetarian menus are being made sans paneer dishes. As a result, the common people and restaurant owners are at their wits end on how to manage the crisis.
