Officials said that only Nirmal, Bhainsa, Adilabad and Echoda stations registered sporadic incidents of adulteration. They noted that awareness was being created among the traders over consequences of adulteration, besides stepping up vigilance. They added that other areas of the two districts never see the menace.
