Amid the name plate controversy before the Kanwar Yatra in UP, the Yogi government is getting hotels and dhabas inspected. Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) teams have made it mandatory to put food safety QR code stickers. On Tuesday, officers put stickers in dhabas and restaurants in Muzaffarnagar and Lucknow. These QR stickers are linked to the Food Safety Connect app, which on scanning will give information about the dhaba’s registration number, owner’s name, address and menu.
FSDA department’s special secretary and additional commissioner Rekha S Chauhan said, a special campaign has been started on all Kanwar routes. We are pasting ‘Safety App Connect’ stickers in all restaurants and food carts. Restaurant owners have also been instructed to put up rate lists of their products. Food items are being checked on all routes. Cleanliness is also being checked. A restaurant owner from Lucknow said, ‘Officials came to my shop. We have been instructed to maintain cleanliness during the Kanwar Yatra. We will try our best to live up to the expectations of Kanwar pilgrims. Meeting of officers of 4 states in Meerut, liquor shops will be covered
