Just a few kms away the health department’s team visited Suraj Pole where they found a godown in which sacks of flours were kept. When they asked the owner of the godown, he told them that it was besan (gram flour). “When we tasted it, we found it bitter, unlike the taste of besan. We suspect that it was flour of kesari dal, which causes health-related problems. Since it is quite unpopular, they were selling it in the form of flour to units which produce namkeen,” said a health department official.
