Lahore, Jan. 6 (TNS): Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar on Saturday prohibited dairy farmers from injecting hormones in cows and buffaloes to increase milk production.
The top judge said this during a hearing of a case regarding tampered milk in Punjab.
Hearing a suo motu case in the Supreme Court (SC) Lahore registry, the CJP said that injections given to cows and buffaloes lead to diseases like cancer in children and adults consuming the milk.
He also branded packaged milk “unfit for consumption” because the packages contain formalin chemical, which is extremely dangerous for human health.
Justice Nisar also ordered companies producing tea whiteners to state on the packaging that their product is not a substitute for milk.
