Deceptive fruits in mellow colours

Deceptive fruits in mellow colours

S. A. Mansoor, Dhaka

TDS's colourful full-page pictures of luscious fruits published on 20th June are alluring, but who knows if these are all carbide or formalin tainted. Authorities should go all out to wipe out this epidemic spreading all across the country. They should show no mercy to these unscrupulous traders and farmers who add this harmful chemical to fruits.
Hopefully, at least boiling and cooking of tainted vegetables will possibly eliminate the bad effects of these poisons. The authorities may widely publicise any such measures that can eliminate or reduce the effects of poisons in fruits and vegetables.
