Sisodia demands ban on chemical-laced fruits: MLA Yashpal Singh Sisodia demanded during Zero Hour in Assembly that chemical laced fruits be banned in State. He said that chemical-laced fruits coming from overseas are being sold in markets of Madhya Pradesh. Family members of patients purchase these fruits, including apple, at higher rates and give to the patient and also consume themselves. He said that it is necessary that such fruits be washed in hot water before use, but in the absence of awareness, people are using these fruits by simply washing with cold water and sometimes, they use them directly. Owing to this reason, health of people is affected adversely.
