Crackdown on illegal water bottling plants in Kamrup (M) district

GUWAHATI: The Kamrup (M) district administration has cracked down strongly upon unauthorised and illegal water bottling and packaging plants, stated a press release. Numerous public complaints as well as the findings of a magisterial enquiry have brought to fore such practices taking place with blatant disregard for law. Taking cognizance of the fact that such unscrupulous business practices pose a serious threat to public health, Kamrup (M) Deputy Commissioner Pallav Gopal Jha has constituted a Task Force with circle officers, magistrates and food safety, GMC and police officials to enforce immediate closure of such concerns which are operating without necessary permissions and approvals.

The Task Force on Thursday carried out the mandate stringently as a number of unauthorized bottling and packaging plants were served with closure notices and they were enforced on the spot.

Necessary instructions were also passed to such operators regarding requisite licences to be obtained for operating such businesses.

According to the Deputy Commissioner, such operations will continue in full swing till such unscrupulous elements do not desist from flouting rules and till such time as they do not operate with necessary license and in proper conditions.
