Foodstuff adulterated

Over the past several years, the mobile courts have been continuing to punish food processing units, food sellers, adulterated food producers etc., but the impact is yet to be perceived as the process continues. Recently one could learn through media that artificial eggs are being sold in the markets and these fake chicken eggs are imported through black channels. As a regular buyer of chicken eggs from the Kawran Bazar, I could experience that some of the eggs behave in a different way. The yellow portion is not intact when placed on the fry pan and my suspicion about the eggs compelled me to throw the eggs into the garbage bin.
I request that the authority should look into the matter, find out what is wrong and enact appropriate laws to penalize the offenders. Already enough fake currency notes are in the markets, but people guilty are yet to be identified and punished. I sometimes have a feeling that very soon fake currency notes in circulation will exceed genuine ones. That will be disastrous in the context of national health care and economic health of the nation. I pray, it will not happen so and the government will clamp down hard on the criminals before anything like that happens.
