“Expired products found at V-Mart in Dharmanagar; administration springs into action as the complaint goes viral.”

A customer noticed various expired products at the V-Mart shopping mall in the Rajbari area of Dharmanagar. He raised the issue through a Facebook Live video, lodging a complaint. The video quickly went viral on social media, and news outlets began reporting the matter. Immediately, the administration sprang into action.

Finally, on Friday evening, a special team formed under the direction of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) visited V-Mart to conduct a detailed investigation. During the search, several expired products were found, and a list of these items was prepared. The team included SDM Genius Debbarma, Food Safety Officer, officials from Dharmanagar Municipal Council, Sales Tax Officer, and members of the Pollution Control Board.

SDM Genius Debbarma provided the detailed information about the operation to the media.

There is a public perception that the problem of expired products is not limited to V-Mart but is widespread across Dharmanagar and the entire North District. Many believe that this trend is increasing due to the negligence of the concerned departments. Experts have warned that consuming expired products can pose various health risks to consumers. If the administration does not take strict measures promptly, the situation could become even more serious, according to experienced observers.
