Poisonous food: CM takes notice of child's death

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has taken serious notice of the death of a child reportedly after consuming poisonous chips and juice and directed the Commissioner of Hyderabad to inquire into the matter and submit a report to him.

The condition of both the twin deteriorated and were shifted to hospital where Humayyun breathed his last while his sister Aliza was in critical condition.
The chief minister said that this was unacceptable and the shopkeepers or vendors could not be allowed to play with the lives of people by selling substandard and poisonous food items in the market. "I want you to conduct thorough inquiry into the matter and get the lab test of food items done and report me," he directed Commissioner Hyderabad Abbas Baloch and also urged him to taken necessary measures to save the life of Aliza. He said that he had not forgotten the incident of Karachi in which two children had died after consuming poisonous food and now another incident has taken place.
The chief minister directed Sindh Food Authority to start inspection of restaurants and markets of Hyderabad.
Commissioner Hyderabad Abbas Baloch in his report to the chief minister that that a child died of food poisoning on December 30, 2018 in Hyderabad. On receipt of information, a team of officers was sent to the house of Abdul Sattar, the father of deceased child, who disclosed that his wife and kids bought chips and juice from a shop at Cantt Market Hyderabad. After using the stuff his two kids went ill.
