Srinagar, Aug. 11 -- Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Kashmir, Smiti Sethi said a total of over 11,668 kilograms of unsafe meat has been seized across J&K so far, with intensified raids underway to purge markets of manipulation and health hazards.

She said until the market improves, the drives will continue. "We are following proper procedure and once the process is complete, details will be made public," Sethi said.

Moreover, the large-scale seizures come amid a government crackdown following multiple raids in recent weeks-ranging from the destruction of 1,200 kg of rotten meat in Srinagar's Zakura to the disposal of thousands of kababs and Gushtaba found laced with prohibited colouring agents in other districts.
