A seven-member team of the health department seized 10 quintal of spurious sweets from a bus here on Saturday. Health officials have stepped up efforts to check flow of spurious sweets during Diwali. “We had received an input about the presence of spurious sweets in a tourist bus. The sweets were to be taken to villages,” said district health officer Dr Shiv Karan Singh Kahlon, district health officer, Amritsar. Health officials said their focus is on milk products as the adulteration is maximum in them.
