| Katni in Madhya Pradesh is famous for its marble but more than this, it is known for the manufacture and sale of fake products, ranging from eatables to cosmetics, all sold in the small town with the administration looking the other way.
The fake and imitation products available in this town appear original at first glance but are cheap and of poor quality.
When an NDTV team turned up at one such fake goods outlet, the scene has to be seen to be believed. The shopkeeper refused to sell his items and even returned the money.
''We keep both the original and the fake products side by side. We sell them according to the money offered by the customers. After all, money is uppermost in this world,'' said Sheikh Bafaati, shopkeeper in Katni.
The shops cater to those wanting to buy cheap fake products.
''These products are costly in the big shops and we get them for cheap here. Hence, I buy them from here,'' said Anoos, a buyer.
Customers are aware the products are fake but the administration refuses to act, saying that there have been no complaints.
Anju Singh Baghel, Collector, Katni said, ''This is a common complaint in Katni. Outsiders working here feel scared of buying products from here lest they are fake. However, no action has been taken till now.''
For the ones who don't have sufficient money in their pocket, can come down to Katni market and buy things like Paod's instead of Pond's, Boroleum instead of Borolene, Fairness and Sweet instead of Fair and Lovely and Borq Plus instead of Boro Plus at dirt cheap rates.
