The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has raided city-based company Hi-Tech Aqua for manufacturing packaged drinking water of 20 liters without a license, the government said today.

A huge quantity of 20-liter water jars manufactured under brands 'Fresher', 'Parie' and 'Bisleri' have been seized by BIS, it said.

"The firm was manufacturing packaged drinking water
