In a drive to check manufacturing of food items in unhygienic conditions, the Students' Wing of Joint Committee of Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) has banned two ice-cream factories located at Nagaram and BT Road today.
The factory at Nagaram is run jointly by Mukesh Prasad and Rajesh Prasad, both from Dihari district of Bihar.
The inspection team found the water used in the manufacture of ice-cream contaminated with dead mosquitoes and worms.
Moreover, the factory was running for the past three months without any permission from the authorities concerned.

The other factory at BT Road is run by a non-local inside MM Hotel in agreement with the Proprietor of the hotel identified as Md Kayamuddin of Yairipok Bishnunaha.
It was also found in an unhygienic condition.
Talking to media persons, Convenor of Students' Wing of JCILPS M Angamba said that ice-cream is one of the favourite food items of children.
The ice-cream produced from such unhygienic factories could have serious impact on the health of children.
The drive would continue to crack down more of such illegal and unhygienic factories producing harmful food items in the state, he noted.
He further lambasted the health officials and food safety officers for not taking up measures to check manufacturing of unhygienic food items in the State.
