40 Bags of Adulterated TSP Fertilizer Seized in Kaliganj
Authorities seized 40 bags of TSP fertilizer in Kaliganj, in Jhenaidah district, Bangladesh.
The fertilizer was found at Maheshwar Chanda market as it was being taken outside the area for sale.
Two people were detained with the pickup van used to transport the bags.
Under Bangladesh’s Fertilizer Management Act, 2006, a mobile court imposed a fine of 25,000 taka.
Tests confirmed the fertilizer was adulterated, and officials destroyed it.
