The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) officials conducted raids at two locations here on Wednesday that were placing spurious hallmark on gold articles.
Meenkashi Ganesan, head of BIS, Coimbatore branch, said in a press release that the two centres - on Raja Street and Karuppaiah Street - were hallmarking gold articles spuriously. They did not have licence to hallmark gold articles.
Gold jewellery with marking as per the old hallmarking system and duplicate hallmark were recovered from both the locations. The value of the seized articles is estimated to be ₹ 11 lakh. The BIS is taking action against the offenders under the BIS Act.
