FDA Shuts Kalwa Hospital Canteen After Cockroach Found in Patient Meal
A cockroach was found in a meal served to an eye surgery patient at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital's canteen in Kalwa on August 28. Following protests by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena members, the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration inspected the kitchen, identifying multiple food safety violations. Consequently, the FDA suspended the canteen's operations, which will remain closed until a full inspection and official clearance. The hospital has arranged alternative meals for patients during this period.
