Karachi Seals 7 More Shops for Selling Urea-Contaminated Milk

Authorities in Karachi have sealed seven more milk shops for selling chemically adulterated milk, bringing the total number of sealed shops to 27.

According to a statement from the Karachi Commissioner, the crackdown on adulterated milk continues. On Tuesday, officials sealed three shops in District South, three in District East, and one in Malir for selling unsafe milk.

A spokesperson for the Commissioner’s office said that, over the past two days, a total of 27 milk shops have been sealed across the city.

The decision was made during a meeting chaired by Karachi Commissioner Hassan Naqvi, attended by the DG Food Authority and other officials. The meeting resolved to keep up strict checks on milk quality and continue the campaign against adulteration.

Commissioner Naqvi stated that sealed shops will not be reopened without heavy fines. Shop owners must also provide a written guarantee to sell only pure, unadulterated milk before their shops can be de-sealed.
