Delhi Drinks Adulterated Milk

Who Cares if Delhites drink adulterated milk that contains urea, paint, starch and caustic soda. Even baby food products contain poisonous contaminants. These contaminants are killing the residents of Delhi, our new born and children. Urea has direct effect on urinary system and starch, caustic soda damages the digestive tract and some contaminants cause cancer. But who Cares?

Delhi is going to have Commonwealth Games in 2010. Are we going to feed this to our guests? Not only milk, almost every thing we eat is contaminated. What ever we buy may be spurious. Shops around bus stands and railway stations are freely selling contaminated and spurious items without any fear. Authorities know this, but who cares?

Here is extract from Times of India, 22 Mar 2004, about the findings of the Prevention of Food Adulteration (PFA) department of the Delhi government. "The department, in its report, points out that 40 out of 229 samples of milk sold in the city is adulterated by chalk, urea, soap and other whiteners."

This is what Business Line, a financial daily from the HINDU group, dated July 25, 2000 reported
"...caustic soda and chemicals, such as hydrogen peroxide are used liberally to increase the shelf-life of milk. Dairy owners also use harmful chemicals such as zentamycin in the milk. Intake of these chemicals can cause diseases in the intestine and are harmful for the eye. They are particularly harmful for infants and children and can be life threatening. Continuous intake of zentamycin has the potential to cause cancer as well... and while the Government remains inactive, the life of innocents are put under risk."

Many years have passed, and the situation has worsen. Who cares?

Does any one has a clue from where the Chief Minister, Health Minister, LG, and Commissioners and Chairmen of Corporations get the milk they and their families drink?

Are these people so helpless? Is it so difficult? Why can't they put an halt to this once for all? At least they can axe the officers of Delhi Milk Scheme. These officers getting paid by your hard earned money were feeding you and your children adulterated milk. Read this news item dated May 29, 2009:
"Haryana Police today claimed to have busted five units involved in manufacture and supply of spurious milk across the state and neighbouring areas...seized 1,900 litres of adulterated milk, 26,000 lt of milk, 150 kg caustic soda, 158 bags of milk powder and 16 barrel of glucose, an official spokesperson told reporters here today. The cooperative used to supply the adulterated milk in Delhi under Delhi Milk Scheme..."
Don't tell me that the officers of Delhi Milk Scheme did not know. Even if this is true (which you know is not), they should still be axed for not doing their job properly. Have we become butchers of human life?

If milk supplied by Delhi Milk Scheme is adultered, how can we be sure about Mother Dairy?

What is more important for you?
(a) Metro Rail Network
(b) Commonwealth games in 2010
(c) Non adulterated milk and food products
(d) India becomes the superpower.
