Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde Suggests MCOCA Against Milk, Paneer Adulterators In Maharashtra · freepressjournal.in

Some people in Maharashtra secretly add fake or harmful ingredients to food like milk and paneer.

This is called food adulteration.

It can make people sick, and children are especially at risk because they drink a lot of milk.

Eknath Shinde is a very important leader in Maharashtra, second-in-command to the Chief Minister.

He thinks this crime is very serious and should not be treated like a small offence.

He wants the police to use a very strong law called MCOCA, which is usually for dangerous organised criminals.

He also wants offenders to be arrested without bail so they cannot get out of trouble easily.

To make sure these cases win in court, he is creating a special team of experienced lawyers.

His goal is to scare off people who try to cheat with food and keep everyone safe.
