Cyberabad’s municipal corporation is introducing a hygiene star rating system for restaurants and hotels to strengthen food safety standards. The initiative assesses establishments on multiple aspects of hygiene and handling practices, with evaluations covering kitchen and dining-area cleanliness, food storage, pest-control measures, and waste management. Reporting across outlets also notes that the programme follows enforcement action, including the closure of a restaurant, underscoring the civic body’s focus on compliance. The process includes an inspection period that is described as lasting about three months, during which officials evaluate participating sites and assign star ratings based on the defined criteria. The stated goal is to improve safety for residents and workers—particularly in the IT corridor—by promoting more reliable and cleaner dining practices and encouraging establishments to maintain required standards.
