Imphal, 02 May 2017 ( Evening News ) : Food Safety Enforcement Wing conducted a drive at Masjid road and Thangal Bazaar today. The drive was conducted by a combined team of Enforcement Wings of Imphal East, Imphal West, Thoubal and Bisnupur Districts under the supervision of Food Safety Commissioner, P.K Singh. During the drive, edible items being sold without licence were seized. On hearing about the drive, a few shopkeepers pulled the shutters down. They have been sealed by the Enforcement Wing. Shopkeepers were found selling edible items without the Food Safety & Standards Authority of India-FSSAI license. The team also found many items imported from Myanmar without expiry date stickers, stickers with Myanmar language, stickers with manufacturing dates printed twice. Designated Officer of Food Safety & Administration, Thounaojam Sunilkumar who took part in the drive said the edible items which may cause throat diseases to the children were banned earlier. These banned items have been seized today. He said actions will be taken under the Food Safety & Standards Act 2006 if shopkeepers are found violating the rules. He stated that the drives could not be held regularly in the past due to the lack of manpower in the department. Sunilkumar said now they have adequate manpower and the drive will now be conducted regularly in all valley districts. He also appealed to the public and CSOs to extend all possible support to stop the people without the FSSAI license from selling.
