Imphal: A student association in Manipur, northeastern India, on Friday caught two traders adulterating a popular brand of iodized salt.
The Kangleipak Students’ Association (KSA) activists found the traders indulging in the adulteration of Tata Salt.
A KSA activist said: “On learning of some suspicious activities some of our members raided the shop and warehouse of Rakesh Kumar in Imphal. Some employees were found disgorging salt from the 500 gram packets and adding some unidentified materials after which the scissored-off portions were sealed using glues.”
The incident came at a time when Manipur faced a growing demand for re-introduction of the British-era Inner Line Permit system to regulate entry and stay of non-Manipuris in the border state, reports newkerala.com.
Both the traders hail from other states.
