In the Kaksar village of Kargil, a woman turned up outside a mosque last week to donate three hens — her contribution towards the relief efforts in Iran as the conflict in West Asia, following attacks by the US and Israel, drags on. One of those hens later laid an egg. With a view to encouraging further contributions, the egg was auctioned, starting with a Rs 100 bid. A crowd gathered, and the bids began increasing — the egg was eventually sold for Rs 6,000. Over the past week, the trend took off in Kargil, and small contributions, like eggs or apples being brought in to street corners for donations, began being auctioned. One such apple fetched a price of Rs 1.05 lakh at Karkitchoo village.

As mango stocks started arriving in Hyderabad markets, police and municipal authorities have launched separate operations to check for the use of illegal ripening agents that pose health risks. On April 4 and 5, police arrested at least two wholesale fruit traders who were allegedly using excessive ripening agents and chemicals to ripen mangoes from Andhra Pradesh. One of the men, who runs a fruit business at Chudi Bazar, was allegedly found using “Diamond Ripe Ethylene” to ripen mangoes. “He was using the ripener in more quantities than required. We seized over two dozen sachets of the ripener,” an official of H-Fast (Hyderabad Food Adulteration Surveillance Team) said. Police also seized at least 7 tons of mangoes from several warehouses across the city, suspected to have been ripened using ethylene and calcium carbide, and samples have been sent for testing.
