Commissioner of Civil Supplies C.V. Anand on Wednesday advised citizens not to believe in rumours on plastic rice as tests conducted on samples collected from the complainant in the Corporation laboratory had shown it was not ‘plastic rice’.
Rice samples have been sent to State Food Laboratory for further chemical tests to totally rule it out and in the meantime, enforcement and vigilance officials were put on high alert. Corporation officials have been given guidelines through video on how to recognise plastic rice and notice if it is mixed anywhere and carry out checks when there are doubts.
Rice millers too have been cautioned in this matter. Tests in Civil Supplies laboratory were conducted in the presence of quality control analyzer, general manager and assistant manager (technical)
