Jaipur : Rajasthan is famous in the world for tourism and traditional food. While common people are affected due to adulteration in food items, it also has a great impact on tourism. Because if tourists coming from outside do not get good arrangements and quality food, they will not like to come here. In such a situation, the Food and Consumer Department of the state government has started a campaign against adulterators. On the fifth day of this campaign, a large number of firms have been fined.
