This is most disturbing I know, but just imagine if we did not have free media? I mean, here the TV channel seems to have done a great job of exposing it!
Had we still had that one state run and mind numbing TV channel, then I seriously doubt if this thing would ever have come to light. And so the police as well as the health inspectors would have been happy to turn a blind eye towards this (in exchange for money).
I remember in Zia-ul-Haq’s time, there used to be a program on PTV called Main Aur Aap . It was hosted by a bearded gentleman who would take a mobile camera team with him into the streets of Lahore. And he often exposed adulteration of food items. However after “democracy” returned to Pakistan, I never saw that guy on TV again.
But now I see that the tide is changing. Still I will not give any credit to the authorities for relaxing their control over the media - As we all know that they very grudgingly let go of it… It had just become too embarrassing that India had so many private TV channels in the 1990s, while we only had one.
