Around 600 chemical-laced decorative phuchkas, a popular street food in Kolkata, went missing from a Durga Puja pandal's decor. The organizers alerted the police due to concerns that people who consumed them may be harmed. The phuchkas were treated with resin and a hardener to preserve their appearance.
