Karachi (Web Desk): The Supreme Court (SC) on Saturday ordered laboratory tests of all brands of packaged milk available in the market.
According to details, Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar heard a suo motu case pertaining to sale of substandard packaged milk at the Karachi Registry, and directed the relevant authorities to conduct laboratory tests of all brands of packaged milk products available in the city’s markets.
While hearing the case the CJP expressed annoyance at the concerned authorities’ failure to submit complete details to the court regarding use of injections in cows.
The Chief Justice stated that the injections administered to cows are resulting in breast cancer and other hormonal problems in women.
