A student at Tapovan Vidyalaya in Bhayander East is fined ₹50 after the school flags methi (methi bhaji) in the student’s lunchbox, according to reports from local outlets. The matter draws attention after the Municipal Corporation’s inspection and notice processes are triggered.
NDTV and Times of India both report that the issue leads to civic scrutiny. The MBMC (Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation) issues a show-cause notice to the school, questioning the action taken against the student over the food item. The reports describe the fine as minor in amount, but the response from the civic body indicates concern about the school’s decision-making and compliance with relevant norms. The articles focus on the fine and the notice, rather than presenting any broader changes to school food policies or a final outcome from the school or authorities.
