Central Government has extended the prohibtion date till 24.06.2012 for importing Milk and Milk Products (including chocolates and chocolate products  and candies/ confectionary/ food preparations with milk or milk solids as an ingredient) from China. Warlier such prohibtion was imposed by a notification dated 03.01.2011. 


I think the govt has taken the right step. we all know the quality of products imported into India from China. Such eatable products, if their quality is doubtable, must be barred. The step taken is in the right direction.
