Operation Thelima Leads to Eateries' Closures and Licence Suspensions in Kerala
Operation Thelima is a food safety initiative targeting violations in eateries across Kollam and Wayanad districts. Inspections led to the closure of eight shops in Kollam and suspension of four licences in Wayanad due to issues like use of recycled cooking oil, unhygienic conditions, and improper food storage. Authorities seized and destroyed over 120 kg of unsafe food items and used cooking oil. The operation involves multiple squads using specialized equipment, with ongoing inspections planned to ensure compliance with food safety standards.
