Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licences of Two Pune Restaurants Over Food Safety Violations
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the food business licences of Pune's Hotel Vaishali and Roopali Restaurant following inspections that revealed serious hygiene and food safety violations. Issues included food storage near toilets, inadequate kitchen space, risk of cross-contamination, and lack of mandatory safety records. Both establishments are barred from all food operations until they address the deficiencies and receive written clearance. The action is part of the FDA's Safe Food, Safe Maharashtra campaign led by Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe.
