    They didn’t even spare the Tirupati laddu, how will they spare other food items? It’s important to find out where this chemically laced garlic came from and who its main dealer is. Similarly, we should also avoid the chemical used to keep fish fresh (formaldehyde). It is which is also used for preserving dead bodies.”

    Import is through ports & border controlled by the Goverment. How garlic, pepper, areca & other products can pass through customs is questionable. Goverment should impose strict control. Poor traders should not be punished.
