Bhiwandi Hotels Shut After Food Safety Violations Incidents
In Bhiwandi, two hotels were shut down because they were not keeping food clean and safe.
The state food safety agency and the local city council looked at the hotels and found many problems, like dirty kitchens and bad food storage.
They told the hotels to stop serving food until they fix everything.
This action happened after many people got sick from bad food in the city.
The city plans to check more food places, like street stalls, to keep everyone safe.
FDA and BNCMC issued Business Stop notices to Baba Hotel and New Metro Hotel in Bhiwandi.
Inspections found poor hygiene, improper food storage, and multiple safety violations.
