Summary:
Jaswant ShetraTribune News ServiceLudhiana, June 9The sale of unhygienic food items is going on unabated in several areas of the city. Reason: Lack of awareness on part of the common people about the health hazards of unhygienic eatables as well as lack of vigil by the Health Department officials in checking the sale of unhygienic eatables. The sale of unhygienic and stale eatables during the summer season may lead to many vector-borne diseases. Even though the officials of the district health office (DHO) are conducting checks and inspecting food items on a regular basis, there are several areas where the sale of unhygienic food items is going unabated. Health experts, however, warn that unhygienic food items may cause several health problems, including infection and food poisoning..
