A video showing thousands of expired milk and lassi packets scattered in an open field in Mohali has gone viral, prompting the Punjab Health Department to issue an alert and advise the public to avoid consumption.
A short video that quickly spread on social media shows an open field on the outskirts of Mohali littered with thousands of sealed packets of milk and lassi. The containers, visibly past their expiry dates, were lying in piles across the grassland, raising concerns about possible health hazards.
Local authorities were alerted after the clip went viral, and officials from the Punjab Health Department arrived at the site to assess the situation. The department confirmed that the products are unfit for consumption and warned residents to discard any similar items that may have been purchased from nearby markets.
The health officials have also launched an investigation to trace the source of the expired stock and to determine how the packages ended up in a public field. In the meantime, the department has urged the public to remain vigilant, check expiry dates before buying dairy products, and report any suspicious findings to the nearest health office.
