Chandigarh: The Punjab BJP on Saturday demanded a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities in the Verka products, days after the Indian Army rejected a consignment of about 125 metric tonnes of Verka milk powder over quality concerns.
Flagship Dairy Brand
Verka is the flagship dairy brand of the Punjab State Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation (Milkfed) which produces various dairy products including milk, ghee, butter, curd and milk powder.
Launching a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party-led Punjab government, BJP Punjab working state president Ashwani Sharma alleged that chief minister Bhagwant Mann has maintained a deafening silence over a series of ``scams and irregularities’’ linked to Verka and the nutrition supply chain, raising grave concerns about public health and systemic corruption.
Not an Isolated Incident
Referring to the recent rejection of nearly 125 metric tonnes of Verka milk powder by the Indian Army over quality concerns, Sharma alleged that this is not an isolated incident but part of a larger pattern. Pointing to earlier allegations of chemical adulteration in milk supplied to Verka plants, multiple financial irregularities in different units, he held that now the quality failure had been flagged by the Army.
