The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday ordered Commissioner Karachi to take action against the fake milk distributors in the city.
A bench of the high court while hearing an appeal about the rise in milk price also directed the commissioner to submit a progress report on the matter within two weeks.
Justice Iqbal Kalhoro showed dissatisfaction over the districts’ local administration and questioned what they are doing to stop the sale of chemical-based milk in the cities.
“You are getting a salary from the taxes being paid by the people, but doing nothing in return,” the justice said to the representative of the commissioner.
While being questioned about the price of the milk in the city, the commissioner’s representative admitted that the fixed price of milk is Rs110/kg and it is being sold at Rs160 per kg in the city.
The Sindh High Court in the last hearing of the case had directed Commissioner Karachi to control the milk price within 30 days.
