The Chief Minister said that mixing human waste in food items like juice, dal, and roti is a very disgusting act, which will not be tolerated under any circumstances. This type of adulteration poses a serious threat to the health safety of the general public. He directed that such restaurants and dhabas will be thoroughly investigated in which such irregularities can be found.
Police verification of those working in Dhabas…

This will not only reveal the background of the employees, but it will also be an important step from the security point of view. The Chief Minister also hinted towards the necessary amendment in the Food Safety and Standards Act. Under this, it will be ensured that the name and address of the operator, proprietor, and manager are clearly displayed at the food centers. This will provide information to the consumers and in case of any problem, the responsible person can be traced.
CCTV will be installed in all restaurants and hotels
. Strict instructions have also been issued regarding hygiene. All chefs and waiters will have to wear masks and gloves while cooking or serving food. This will not only ensure hygiene but will also prevent contamination of food items. CCTV cameras have also been made mandatory. Now CCTV will have to be installed in all restaurants and hotels, so that any kind of irregularity can be monitored.
Strict action against operator or proprietor in case of irregularities
