Udaipur Health Department Cracks Down on Adulteration: 1600 Litres Toxic Milk Destroyed, 12 Restaurants Penalized | स्वास्थ्य विभाग की कार्रवाई

Under the 'Shudh Aahar-Milavat par Var' campaign, Udaipur district health administration's 30-member special squad intercepted a milk tanker carrying 1600 litres of toxic adulterated milk near Hiran Magri Sector 8, destroying it on the spot while inspecting 12 local eateries.

UDAIPUR: Udaipur — Stepping up administrative vigilance during the peak festive season, the district health administration has launched a massive enforcement blitz under the statewide ‘Shudh Aahar-Milavat par Var’ campaign. In a major breakthrough on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, a 30-member special squad spearheaded a high-stakes interception that led to the unearthing of a major inter-district adulteration racket. The operation culminated in the seizure and immediate on-site destruction of udaipur milk adulteration crackdown operations involving 1,600 litres of synthetic milk laced with hazardous chemicals and vegetable oils, alongside strict legal notices served to over a dozen commercial restaurants across the city.

⚡ Quick Highlights: Udaipur Milk Adulteration Crackdown: 1600L Toxic Milk Destroyed

  • Special Squad Raid: A 30-member special squad deployed under Collector Gaurav Agarwal intercepted a suspicious tanker near Jadao Nursery crossing.
  • Toxic Milk Seized: Exactly 1600 litres of adulterated milk containing palm oil and skimmed milk powder was intercepted coming from Chittorgarh.
  • On-Site Destruction: Food Safety Officers drew laboratory samples and immediately destroyed the remaining 1596 litres of toxic milk on the spot.
  • Restaurant Inspections: Simultaneous surprise inspections covered over 12 restaurants in Mali Colony, checking food safety display boards and licenses.
  • Administrative Directives: Under the guidance of CMHO Dr. Ashok Aditya, non-compliant establishments were issued formal rectification notices under Section 32.
  • Legal Action: Direct court challans are being filed against the tanker driver, Milan Mali, for operating without valid FSSAI commercial licenses.

Chronology of the Jadao Nursery Tanker Interception

The high-precision intelligence operation began over 48 hours prior to the interception, when the Udaipur health administration received specific classified inputs regarding a systematic supply chain of adulterated milk entering the city from neighbouring Chittorgarh. Operating under direct instructions from District Collector Gaurav Agarwal and Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) Dr. Ashok Aditya, a 30-member dedicated task force initiated covert surveillance along the Amberi transit corridor.

On Tuesday morning, Food Safety Officers Ashok Gupta, Narendra Chauhan, and Jitendra Dangi tracked a suspicious dairy tanker bearing registration number RJ-06-GD-7572 as it maneuvered through city entry points. After trailing the vehicle for several kilometers, the enforcement team successfully intercepted the tanker near Jadao Nursery crossing in Sector 8, Hiran Magri. Preliminary on-site field testing revealed that the cargo—totalling 1,600 litres of liquid—was severely compromised with industrial palm oil and low-grade skimmed milk powder, posing grave public health risks.

As part of routine urban safety updates, citizens are reminded to remain vigilant against financial frauds as well, echoing warnings from recent reports on Udaipur cyber fraud cases and ATM skimming scams that mirror the deceit found in consumer food markets.

“We received specific intelligence that daily consignments of synthetic milk were entering Udaipur during the festive rush. Our team maintained continuous vigil before intercepting the tanker. Two samples have been dispatched to the state laboratory, while the remaining 1,596 litres were instantly destroyed to prevent public consumption.” — Ashok Gupta, Food Safety Officer & Squad Lead

  • Surveillance Phase: Two days of intense route reconnaissance along the Chittorgarh-Udaipur transit corridor.
  • Vehicle Identification: Interception of milk tanker RJ-06-GD-7572 at Jadao Nursery square, Hiran Magri Sector 8.
  • Adulterants Detected: Presence of harmful vegetable palm oil and unverified skimmed milk powder mixtures.

Simultaneous Restaurant Audits in Mali Colony

Immediately following the successful interception of the milk tanker, the district food safety apparatus expanded its operational sweep to commercial food outlets. A secondary division of the special squad—comprising Food Safety Officers Bhumika Ranawat, Ranjeet Singh Chauhan, and Ramavatar Meena—conducted sudden, unannounced inspections across more than a dozen commercial restaurants and eateries situated within the bustling Mali Colony residential and commercial district.

The sweeping restaurant audits uncovered widespread non-compliance with statutory food safety regulations. Investigators noted that a vast majority of the inspected establishments failed to display mandatory ‘Food Safety Display Boards’ at prominent customer-facing locations. Furthermore, foundational compliance documents—including valid medical fitness certificates for food handlers, rigorous water quality test certificates, and professional pest control documentation—were entirely missing from their administrative files.

To ensure absolute public safety during public health emergencies, municipal medical infrastructure remains on high alert, drawing parallels to emergency preparedness seen during critical incidents such as the recent fatalities and medical emergencies managed at MB Hospital Udaipur.

“Our secondary inspection teams visited over twelve commercial restaurants in Mali Colony today. We found a total lack of display boards and essential staff medical clearances. Formal improvement notices under Section 32 of the Food Safety and Standards Act have been served to defaulting owners.” — Bhumika Ranawat, Food Safety Officer

  • Target Area: Over 12 major restaurants and eateries inspected across Mali Colony.
  • Key Violations: Absence of statutory Food Safety Display Boards and incomplete hygiene documentation.
  • Statutory Action: Formal improvement notices issued under Section 32, mandating strict compliance within stipulated timelines.

मुख्य समाचार एवं विस्तृत विवरण (Hindi News Coverage)

त्योहारी सीजन के दौरान आमजन के स्वास्थ्य से खिलवाड़ करने वाले मिलावटखोरों के खिलाफ उदयपुर स्वास्थ्य विभाग ने अब आर-पार की लड़ाई शुरू कर दी है। ‘शुद्ध आहार-मिलावट पर वार’ अभियान के तहत जिला कलक्टर गौरव अग्रवाल एवं सीएमएचओ डॉ. अशोक आदित्य के निर्देशन में एक विशेष 30 सदस्यीय स्क्वॉड का गठन किया गया है। इस टीम ने मंगलवार को शहर में ताबड़तोड़ कार्रवाई करते हुए एक बड़ा मिलावट का भंडाफोड़ किया और 1600 लीटर जहरीला दूध मौके पर ही नष्ट करवा दिया।

गुप्त सूचना के आधार पर खाद्य सुरक्षा अधिकारियों (एफएसओ) अशोक गुप्ता, नरेंद्र चौहान और जितेंद्र डांगी की टीम ने अंबेरी से चित्तौड़गढ़ की तरफ से आ रहे एक संदिग्ध दूध के टैंकर (आरजे-06 जीडी 7572) का पीछा किया। हिरण मगरी सेक्टर 8 स्थित जड़ाव नर्सरी चौराहे पर टैंकर को रोककर जब चालक मिलन माली (निवासी रैवाड़ा, चित्तौड़गढ़) से पूछताछ की गई और प्राथमिक जांच की गई, तो दूध में पाम ऑयल (वेजिटेबल ऑयल) और स्किम्ड मिल्क पाउडर की खतरनाक मिलावट पाई गई।

दूध के सैंपल को तुरंत परीक्षण के लिए प्रयोगशाला भेज दिया गया है, जबकि शेष 1596 लीटर मिलावटी दूध को मौके पर ही नष्ट कर दिया गया। आरोपी संचालक के पास वैध एफएसएसएआई लाइसेंस न होने के कारण उसके खिलाफ सीधे न्यायालय में चालान पेश करने की कानूनी कार्रवाई शुरू कर दी गई है।

दूध जब्ती की इस बड़ी कार्रवाई के तुरंत बाद, एफएसओ भूमिका राणावत, रणजीत सिंह चौहान और रामअवतार मीणा के नेतृत्व में दूसरी टीम ने माली कॉलोनी क्षेत्र के एक दर्जन से अधिक रेस्टोरेंट्स पर औचक निरीक्षण किया। जांच में पाया गया कि अधिकांश प्रतिष्ठानों पर न तो फूड सेफ्टी डिस्प्ले बोर्ड लगे थे और न ही फूड हैंडलर्स की मेडिकल रिपोर्ट, पानी की गुणवत्ता जांच या पेस्ट कंट्रोल सर्टिफिकेट मौजूद थे। इन सभी कमियों को देखते हुए संबंधित रेस्टोरेंट संचालकों को धारा 32 के तहत कड़े सुधार नोटिस जारी किए गए हैं। (Also read: Udaipur Cyber Fraud Cases Surge: ATM Skimming and OTP Scams Drain Over 4.5 Lakhs from Resident Accounts | उदयपुर में साइबर ठगी).

  • विशिष्ट स्क्वॉड गठन: कलेक्टर और सीएमएचओ के निर्देशन में 30 सदस्यीय विशेष दल का गठन किया गया है।
  • बड़ी कार्रवाई: चित्तौड़गढ़ से आ रहे टैंकर से 1600 लीटर मिलावटी दूध पकड़ा गया, जिसमें पाम ऑयल की मिलावट थी।
  • रेस्टोरेंट निरीक्षण: माली कॉलोनी के 12 रेस्टोरेंट्स में कमियां मिलने पर धारा 32 के तहत नोटिस दिए गए।
