The VMSS Health Department officials found that 3 shops have been selling fruits, including the seasonal favourite mangoes, that have been artificially ripened with Ethylene. A total of 47 shops were checked and 155 kg of perishable fruits like mangoes, papaya, kiwi, and oranges were destroyed.
No pouches of calcium carbide were found, which has been banned to be used for ripening fruits in India because of the harmful side effects it has.
