In which Dr. H.G. Koshia said that the state government is continuously committed to provide pure, safe and quality food items to the citizens of the state.
Dr. H.G. Koshia said that nowadays news is being published in newspapers that cockroaches, frogs, rats and other insects are found in food items / prepared food. So let us tell you that due to the current summer season, the infestation of insects increases significantly. Due to this, the possibility of such incidents increases if the food items are not maintained properly in the kitchens of hotels-restaurants-rooftops or the raw materials used in making them are not cleaned or stored properly.

For this, through this system, inspection is done in hotels-restaurants-dhabas for compliance with the hygiene provisions under Schedule-IV of Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and Food Safety and Standards Regulation, 2011 and notices are issued for necessary improvement. In case of non-compliance of the instructions of this notice, the license/registration of the firm will be cancelled in public interest and the firm will be closed under Section-56 of the Food Safety Act. A provision of a fine of one lakh has been made in the law.
The primary responsibility of preparing and serving food lies with those traders who run hotels-restaurants-dhabas-canteens to prevent insects from entering the prepared food. For which they should keep the kitchen clean, cover the windows and exhaust fans with nets, cover the doors to prevent insects from entering, place fly catchers at appropriate places, cover the drainage system, get pest control done from time to time from the authorized agency. Special care should be taken to keep its record etc.
