Staff Correspondent
Thirty-five mobile courts will launch a viorous drive in the capital from the first day of Ramadan to check irregularities in catering and transport services.Led by magistrates, the courts will take action against sale of adulterated food, enforce traffic rules and check realising extra fares and overloading in buses and launches. The decision was taken yesterday at a home ministry meeting at the secretariat with State Minister for Home Affairs Lutfozzaman Babar in the chair. The mobile courts will also take action against unfit vehicles, illegal parking and encroachment of footpaths in the city. The courts will enforce the newly enacted 'Pure Food Ordinance' in the drive against food adulteration and selling of unhygienic foods. They will check commodities without expiry dates and visit slaughterhouses to prevent selling of the meat of buffalo and ram in the name of beef and mutton. The magistrates will strengthen their surveillance from October 10 to 14 to ensure security for the upcoming Durga Puja, the biggest Hindu festival. The magistrates will be replaced in every 15 days. Mobile courts have already started their operation from October 2 in all the districts.
