JAIPUR: Cases of people drinking sanitisers manufactured by state-owned Rajasthan State Ganganagar Sugar Mills (GSM) Limited are increasing in the state as the bottles and the smell are strikingly similar to countrymade liquor.
After an incident in Banswara, a man in Sikar had to be treated in the district hospital after he drank the sanitiser on Wednesday night. Though the government has issued advisories asking people not to drink sanitisers, the efefct has been minimal.

Nurse Mool Singh Tanwar said Vijay Mandawara was brought to the hospital after he drank bottle of sanitiser. “After drinking, he started vomiting. We administered drips and medicine and observed him till he became normal. If the quantity of sanitiser was more, his condition would have been serious,” said Tanwar.
Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) has already issued a warning to its workers not to confuse the sanitisers with liquor.
