Juice, pulses and bread mixed with human waste is detestable and unacceptable. He asserted. He has also suggested necessary amendments in the ‘Food Safety and Standard’ Act to ensure authenticity and purity of food items.

It will be mandatory to display the name and address of the Directors, Owners and Managers, etc. of the hotels, dhabas, and restaurants where food is served. Be it cook or waiter, everyone must wear mask and gloves. CCTV will also be mandatory.

Editorial Perspective

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath can take such decisions, why the Chief Ministers in other States do not take such decisions ? Are they not concerned about public health ?
