Imphal, July 31 2013:
The Students' Wing of Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System has asked two unauthorised ice cream factories in Imphal to close shop after these factories were found using filthy and unhealthy water in manufacturing their products.
During an inspection drive conducted by the Students' Wing with media persons in tow, an ice-cream factory at Nagaram T Block was found using unpurified water pumped up from Nagaram canal.
To the utter surprise of the inspection team, the water which was being used for manufacturing ice-creams was not only smelly and filthy but also a worm was found floating in the water.

One Mukesh Prasad and his brother Rajesh Prasad from Bihar have been running the factory since the past three months without getting any authorisation or license from the Government.
The factory of MM Hotel, Rupmahal Tank was also found using unhygienic water which had full of dirts.
The factory also did not have authorisation from the Government.
The team also inspected the ice-cream factory being run by the State Directorate of Commerce and Industries at Palace Compound.
The factory was found abiding by the necessary guidelines and health related norms.
Speaking to reporters after the drive, Students' Wing Convenor M Angamba said that the factories at Nagaram and Rupmahal Tank are permanently banned of producing ice-creams.
Seeking Government attention in this regard, Angamba warned other factory owners that they must be responsible for any eventuality if they are found manufacturing ice-creams violating the norms in future drives.
