A major food safety raid in Amroha’s Shahpur Paigamberpur village led to the seizure of 300 kg of adulterated rasgullas, 21 sacks of sugar, maize starch, and fake ghee. The joint operation by Amroha and Moradabad teams resulted in the trader’s arrest and the destruction of contaminated stock, sparking alarm among local vendors.
