Srinagar: Panic gripped the busy Boulevard road Sunday evening when six persons including a cop fell ill immediately after consuming ice-cream sold by street vendors along the banks of famous Dal Lake.
Reports said the persons most of whom were on weekend outing started vomiting and then complained of diarrhea on consuming ice-cream. They immediately rushed to police station Nehru Park to file complaint.
Nissar Ahmed, a cop of the station went out to see what the actual problem was. For a test he too had a bite. However, he too met a similar fate, an official of the police station said.
Police informed Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) authorities and during a joint operation they confiscated 20 ice cream selling carts from the area.
"The lot was found to be sub standard and so it was destroyed on the spot," Health Officer SMC said, adding he has sent one of the samples for tests.
He said SMC will Monday produce a challan against the three ice-cream vendors whose carts were seized before the Municipal Magistrate.
