In a shocking revelation, a journalist from Himachal Pradesh, Neha Sharma, uncovered adulteration in black lentils purchased from a government ration depot. A video posted by Sharma showing the lentils turning the soaking water black has gone viral, raising concerns over food quality in the region.
Sharma recorded the incident to highlight the poor quality of food grains available to citizens.
