On the 24th Nov I was travelling from Dehri to Patna, on my way to Nepal. I found something which caught my attention and not only was I glued to it…
What was that?
What do you think this is?
Have a closer look into other details as well…
Any guess????
I took a bus and went to Muzaffarpur and then from there took a train to Raxaul, the Nepal border.
As soon as I alighted from the train and came just outside the station and once again found something very similar to what I found in Patna…
Any guess now to what this is????
I don’t want to hold your curiosity longer. Have a look at what they are.
Packaged Drinking Water!
Later I found that Softech was a software company earlier which started manufacturing packaged drinking water since 2007!
Both the product did not taste a bit like mineral water and the odour was also not good.
So after coming back, I lodged a complaint on 5th Dec with the Standards Promotion & Consumer Affairs Department of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This afternoon I receive a call from the Patna Office of BIS, saying that they received the complaint forwarded to them and asked me to elaborate the complaint and then promised that they would take the matter with the manufacturers.
A response from BIS within two days of lodging a complaint. Hats off to BIS and the officials and staff!
