Harmful Chemicals Found in Santacruz Incense Sticks

A company in Mumbai called M/s Dhoop Chhav Company makes scented incense sticks.

These sticks are used every day, in religious rituals, and to keep mosquitoes away.

But, the Agriculture Department found that these sticks have a harmful chemical called Dimefluthrin, which is more than the allowed amount.

The company did not have a license to use this chemical.

The department raided the company, seized the sticks, and banned their sale.

They also filed a police report, and the police registered a case against the company's directors.

This is important because using too much of these chemicals can be bad for our health.
