Pujo pays special attention to Kolkata hotels, restaurants to stop food storage, the municipality will take strict action

No hotel or restaurant in Kolkata will be able to store unsold food during Puja. The Calcutta Municipality (KMC) will take strict action against the sellers if they try to sell unsold food items by keeping them secret. Not only that, in five-star or seven-star hotels, fish and meat should be stored in a certain manner in accordance with hygiene rules. The municipality has taken many such decisions on Friday keeping in mind the health of the people during the festive season. Atin Ghosh, health administrator of the municipality, said that there will be a tendency to stockpile food everywhere, from food stalls to seven-star hotels. Therefore, extra attention will be given to refrigerators and other storage. From October 19, Food Safety officers and staff will conduct this surveillance operation for 12 consecutive days. The municipality will have its own food laboratory. Ordinary people can complain directly to the municipality about the food of any restaurant or hotel if they want. ” The team was formed on Friday. It is learned that each team will have four food safety officers and five civil servants, meaning a team of 9 people will carry out surveillance. Eight mobile food safety teams will work across the city. A team will be in the building. A total of nine food safety teams will pay special attention to the quality of food cooked at the seven-star hotel from the food stalls on the sidewalk during Puja, Atin Ghosh said. On the other hand, buyers will be appealed on behalf of the municipality to wear the mask to prevent corona infection in Puja market. This campaign will be carried out especially in crowded shopping zones like New Market, Gariyahat, Hatibagan. However, those who do not come to Puja shopping after the mask will be given a surgical mask free of cost by the municipality, the health administrator said.
