A mobile court fined Meena Bazaar and Nandan Department Store in Dhanmondi Tk 1.5 lakh on Saturday in an anti-adulteration operation.

Magistrate Anwar Pasha led the operation in which RAB and BSTI officials took part.
 
The first drive targeted Meena Bazaar, which was fined Tk 1 lakh for not using BSTI-approved stickers and for selling "low-standard" juices of different brands, soaps and baby foods. The fine was paid instantly.
 
Nandan was fined Tk 50,000 on the same counts, which was paid instantly too.
 
The magistrate told reporters that the supermarkets were selling goods despite prohibition of sales of any product without BSTI-stickers.
 
"Some products had become unfit for consumption while others were bordering on expiry," he said.
 
The supermarkets could not show necessary papers against some goods, the magistrate said. "Such drive will continue."
