Jhabua (Madhya Pradesh): A joint team of revenue and Food and Drug Administration took action against illegal petrol sales in Harinagar and Kakanwani in Jhabua, which are near Gujarat border.
Following instructions from Collector Neha Meena and under guidance of SDO (Revenue) Tarun Jain, the team visited these towns to address the issue.
