SRINAGAR, Apr 1: The Enforcement squad of the Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs (FCS&CA) Department today sealed three mutton shops at different places in Srinagar.
The officials said that the action was taken after they were found selling mutton at high rates while a restaurant was also sealed for violation of the Essential Commodities Act.
“The action against the erring was taken because of the complaints pouring in from different sections of the society regarding illegal enhancement of rates by the butchers,” FCS&CA said.
The Assistant Director Enforcement, Kashmir, Mushtaq Ahmad Wani said that the drive will continue and strict action under law shall follow against the violators.
Meanwhile, he said, in case of any complaint, that people may contact on toll-free number 18001807011. “The shopkeepers have been advised to refrain from overcharging and in case of violations their licenses will be cancelled,” he said.
