Formalin In Issue

After Bihar banned sale of Andhra fish over quality concerns, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Monday requested his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar to send a technical team to look into the issue and restore the trade between the two states.

A controversy surrounding the use of formalin to preserve fish sold in Goa is threatening a split in the Goa Forward, a ruling party, even as its Vice President has accused his leadership of being mum on the issue and being a party to the victimization of a whistle-blower who exposed the formalin-in-fish scandal.

A day after Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane alleged that some "vested interests" were trying to protect the fish importers' lobby in the state, his cabinet colleague Vijai Sardesai today urged him to expose such elements.

The Goa Assembly was disrupted today over formalin-laced fish being sold in the state. Speaker Pramod Sawant adjourned the House till 2.30 p.m after the opposition created a ruckus when he refused to cede to their demand for an adjournment motion to discuss the issue.

The monsoon session of the Goa Assembly began on a stormy note today with the opposition demanding a discussion on the issue of formalin being found in fish in the state, instead of the listed business.
