Kochi Corporation’s health wing attacked and sealed the food unit allegedly serving food on trains, including Vande Bharat, near Kadavantho, after Wednesday (May 14, 2025) found a large number of outdated food and her kitchen in non -hygienic condition).
The company operating in the KOCHI CORPORATION division was a few months after public complaints under the medical wing scanner and several notifications were previously delivered. It was found that it works without the necessary license issued by a company.
The latest event followed the complaint of the population of the colony near the Catering unit on Tuesday (13 May 2025). They complained about the unbearably bad smell of God’s and the worker in the neighborhood of the company.
“We found nearly 50 kg of musty chicken, seemingly months old, in God. It was almost impossible to stand anywhere in the area. Those in charge of the company asked her for immediate steps after spraying disinfectant, after the canteen was today (Wednesday) (Wednesday).”
Health officials found printed food containers that indicate that the eating unit supplied food on trains. “We closed the unit and the report will be submitted with the Secretary of the Corporation. They (operators) will have to get a license, set up a wastewater treatment facility, and then submit a new application with the secretary to reopen the company,” said VV Sutesh, head of public health inspector.
During the air raid, no authorized person from the eating unit was reportedly to receive Mahazar or other relevant documents. In the past, the company has been delivered with notifications of operation without the necessary license and wastewater treatment plant. Waste water and food waste were thrown into a nearby canal connected to the Punchathoda channel. A month ago it was also a fined 10,000 GBP for alleged waste from waste into the channel.
Mg Aristotle, Secretary of the Parliamentary Party United Democratic Front (UDF), accused society of being apathetic in solving a serious problem such as food safety. The first example of this attitude was a test laboratory for the quality of mobile foods received more than a year ago within the social responsibility fund, lying inactivity, he said. Later during the day UDF organized a protest before the mobile food laboratory.
