Drive against food adulteration
Better late than never, the Bangladesh government has taken a step to stop the food suppliers from serving polluted and rotten food. The mobile courts are discovering the ugly things every day, which are really amazing! Everybody knew the matter but I think nobody could ever guess the extent of this heinous business. But my point is that the actions that are being taken against those food sellers and producers are not enough.
Tk 10 to 20 thousand is a minor chastisement for these businessmen as they earn as much each day.
If the law doesn't support the magistrate to fine them more than that amount I have a very good proposal.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Just publish the names of the convicted shops in a list on the newspapers once a month for the next one year as an advertisement of "Jonosharthe Bangladesh Sarkar" and ask people to buy foods from those shop at their own responsibility.
Or, put up a sticker or a banner in front of the shops writing, "This shop is facing the allegation of serving polluted foods" and compel the shop managers to hang them for six months.
