Brisk business of adulterated, substandard foods

Sale of adulterated, stale and substandard foods is rampant in the port city for the last few months in absence of anti-adulteration drive.

Owners of a large number of hotels, restaurants and fast food shops in the city have been selling adulterated foods without any problem to the consumers since December last year after the much-talked-about anti-adulteration drive came to a sudden halt following the transfer of Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) Magistrate Mohammad Munir Chowdhury to Bogra.
