A day after the Union government declared hand-sanitisers and face-masks as essential commodities, the police have busted a fake hand-sanitiser and face-mask manufacturing company in Noida on Saturday (14 March), reports News18.
On the orders of District Magistrate B N Singh, the district administration on Saturday busted a factory in Sector 63 here which was making fake sanitisers.
Deputy District Magistrate of Dadri, Rajeev Rai, led the team which raided the factory.
District information officer Rakesh Chauhan told IANS: "A factory in Sector 63 was raided on Saturday. The raid was conducted after increased demand for sanitisers in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak led to black marketeering of the product."
As per reports, over 5,000 face masks and around 5,000 bottles of hand sanitisers, worth over 10 Lakh, have been seized.
