ISI mark withdrawn

NEW DELHI FEB. 19. The Government has withdrawn the ISI quality mark for mineral water produced by some prominent companies in the wake of a storm over reportedly high concentration of pesticides in bottled water.

The drive against bottled drinking water companies through countrywide inspections comes less than a month of startling findings by an independent study showing that a bulk of the mineral water sold in India had very high levels of pesticide residues and it was not in conformity with European norms.
