Dead Cockroach Found in Food at Indore University Mess and Local Shop Sparks Safety ConcernsPreviousNext

Two separate incidents in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, raised food safety concerns after a dead cockroach was found in a biryani served at Symbiosis University and in a samosa purchased from a local shop. University officials described the mess incident as isolated and took cleaning measures, while the samosa case led to a complaint to the Food Safety Department, which found irregularities and collected samples for testing. Both events sparked public concern over hygiene standards during the monsoon season.
