Authorities in Mumbai shut 22 food stalls operating across Western Railway stations after FDA inspections, officials said. The action follows enforcement checks focused on hygiene and food preparation practices at stalls serving passengers.
The inspections find multiple violations, including poor-quality preparation of popular items such as chole and samosas. Officials also cite unclean stall premises as part of the reasons for closure. Reports describe the crackdown as targeted at specific deficiencies observed during on-site inspections rather than broader allegations.
Both accounts emphasize that the closures stem from documented compliance failures during the inspections. While one outlet frames the move as a “big crackdown” and the other provides a checklist of issues, the underlying details—22 stalls shut across Western Railway stations and cited concerns over food quality and cleanliness—are consistent across sources.
