Kanpur Cracks Down on Packaged Water: 26 Units Inspected, Licenses Suspended

• Kanpur Nagar administration launched a special inspection campaign on packaged drinking water units under District Magistrate Jitendra Pratap Singh's directives.
• The campaign aimed to ensure citizens receive safe and pure water, prioritizing public health.
• Out of 26 units inspected, 10 were closed, and several operational units failed to meet standards regarding water purity, sanitation, and documentation.
• Licenses of four state-licensed units (Prabhu Kripa Enterprises, K.S. Tasty Drinks, Santosh Industries, Satyam Enterprises) were suspended.
• Suspension of licenses for four central-licensed units (Daddy's Enterprises, Prayag Packers, Vivan Enterprises, H.D. Drinks) was recommended to the Central Licensing Authority.

Why It Matters: Kanpur administration is taking strict action against packaged water units failing to meet safety and hygiene standards.
