A not so sweet Diwali
Sources say the officials are determined to be harshly strict on the sweet vendors this time regarding hygiene and authenticity of preparation. The FDA officials have surprise checks and raids in their charter.
DIWALI BRINGS to our minds the images of lights, revelry, dance, music, crackers, but most prominently that of sweets. Imagine a festival of lights without sweets. The recent Milk adulteration scam unravelled in Pune and Phaltan has led to the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration Department) to keep a close eye on the sweet preparations during this Diwali.
In the recent past, a doctor was arrested for creating and using a composition that looked and tasted like milk in the Phaltan district. Sweets are mostly made of condensed or pure milk and the officials are keeping a close check on the milk sweet preparation in various bakeries and sweetshops. The aluminium foil used to decorate the sweets is always known to be harmful. Sources say the officials are determined to be harshly strict on the sweet vendors this time regarding hygiene and authenticity of preparation. The FDA officials have surprise checks and raids in their charter.
A Diwali without sweets or a fatal Diwali? None of the two is appealing and as we all know any festivity in India is incomplete in faith, revelry and happiness, without its fair share of sweets.
