Authorities in Hyderabad take action against 11 eateries, suspending their licences as part of a food safety crackdown. Inspections across the establishments find multiple sanitation and storage issues, including cockroach and rodent infestations and signs of pests such as rat droppings. Officials also report expired or spoiled food, fungal contamination, and unhygienic kitchen conditions.
The Telangana Standards Authority for Food and Essential Drugs also identifies problems with refrigeration, food labelling, drainage, and overall compliance with hygiene requirements. Alongside the 11 licence suspensions, authorities issue improvement notices to six other eateries and show-cause notices to three, setting out the need for corrective steps. Further re-inspections are planned to verify whether affected businesses meet required cleanliness and handling standards. Some outlets list examples of the eateries targeted, reflecting the scope of the enforcement drive.
