The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cancels the food licence of the Bombay Presidency Radio Club following an inspection on 19 August, according to NDTV. The action follows findings described by the agency as involving dead cockroaches and other hygiene-related lapses in the premises.
NDTV reports that the FDA identifies a pest infestation and raises concerns about contamination risks. It also cites additional serious hygiene failures during the inspection, which lead to the licence being scrapped. The report presents the FDA’s assessment as the basis for its decision and focuses on the alleged presence of pests and sanitation shortcomings.
While the available account centers on the FDA’s findings, the report does not detail the club’s response or provide additional evidence beyond the agency’s inspection conclusions. The decision reflects a regulatory process in which licences can be withdrawn when food safety and sanitation standards are not met, following compliance checks by officials.
