A mobile court in Rajshahi today levied a fine of Taka 5,000 against a bakery for producing and selling food items without obtaining the necessary quality certification from the Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI).

The enforcement action was led by Executive Magistrate Ayan Farhan Shams of the Rajshahi District Administration, in collaboration with the BSTI Divisional Office, Rajshahi.
