District Officer of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India in Kalaburagi Archana Kamalapurkar has said that Congress leader and former Mayor Sharanu Modi has made an attempt to force her to step back from seizing reverse osmosis plants operating without valid licence.
Speaking to media representatives at her office here on Tuesday, Dr Kamalapurkar said that the former Mayor called her on her mobile phone on Monday soon after she conducted a raid on three water purification plants for supplying drinking water to residents without renewing their licence.
“Of the three plants raided and seized, one is called Sanjivini Plant belonging to Sharanu Sajjan and his partners. A man called me on the phone in the evening and introduced himself as the former Mayor [Sharanu Modi] and questioned me why I raided and seized the plant. He made an attempt to deter us from discharging our duties impartially,” she said.
