Cabinet nod to life sentence to food adulterators in MP

Saturday, 27 February 2021 | Staff Reporter | Bhopal

In view of the current circumstances and the need for immediate legislation to check adulteration of food and drugs in Madhya Pradesh, the Cabinet here on Friday approved Penal Law (Madhya Pradesh Amendment) Bill, 2021 to provide for life imprisonment to adulterators.

The Cabinet sanctioned an amount of Rs 5 crores for the Shivdrishti project of Maharaja Shiv Chhatrapati Pratishthan Pune.

The Cabinet approved to implement the third phase of the Chief Minister’s Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme in 2 years 2020-21 and 2021-22 in place of 4 years.

The Cabinet authorized the Department of Cooperatives to initiate action to pass the Madhya Pradesh Cooperative Societies (Amendment) Bill, 2021 by re-introducing it in the Legislative Assembly.

Decision was taken in the Cabinet meeting that 41 liquor groups who had not opted for the option of additional period from April 1, 2021 to May 31, 2021, which were first made available by the state government to the licensed liquor groups of the year 2020-21 should be given this option on the condition that the percentage increase given by these groups over the tender price amount for the year 2019-20 in the financial year 2020-21, in addition to the increase of 5 percent by these groups, will have to be given by them in a period of these two months.

For this, by computing the contract price of these groups for the year 2019-20 in proportion to the period of 12 months and increasing it by 5 percent, 20 percent of the price received will be considered as the minimum contract price for the said two-month period. If the option of this two-month period is not availed by these 41 groups, then the contracts of these 41 groups will be re-executed under the Excise system 2020-21 in the smaller groups prevailing in the year 2019-20.
