Rajshahi: At the initiative of the Divisional Office of the Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI), a mobile court was conducted today in Rajshahi Metropolitan City.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the operation led to a fine of Tk 10,000 imposed on Future Mineral Water, located in the Baliapukur area of the city. The establishment was found to be producing, selling, and distributing 'Packaged Drinking Water (19-liter jar water)' in an unhygienic and unsuitable environment without obtaining the required quality certificate from BSTI.
Executive Magistrate of the Rajshahi District Administration Md. Shahriar Islam Nasif conducted the mobile court, while Engineer Junaid Ahmed of the Certification Marks Wing of the BSTI Rajshahi Divisional Office prosecuted the case. Members of the Rajshahi Metropolitan Police were present during the proceedings.
Efforts such as these BSTI drives in Rajshahi are set to continue regularly in the public interest, aiming to prevent adulteration and ensure the supply of quality food products.
