Unhygienic foodstuff in every corner
FAISALABAD, Dec 24: Unhygienic and adulterated foodstuffs are being sold by vendors and hotel owners alike allegedly with the connivance of food inspectors of the Tehsil Municipal Administration.
A survey conducted by this correspondent here on Monday revealed that owners of fast food centres, bar-be-cue spots and restaurants had been selling food injurious to human health.
Vendors in almost all the bazaars and commercial centres in the district were seen selling putrid food items including soup, tikkas and kababs and other varieties. Places like the General Bus stand, Abdullahpur Wagon Stand, Jhang Bazaar, Kutchery Bazaar and the Railway Road had become prime spots.
Mobile and cheap restaurants had been selling meat of dead animals, it was learnt. Their method and mode of selling these foodstuffs had made these even more unusable.
Sources said food inspectors in the Tehsil Municipal Administration had hired private people for the collection of ‘Nazrana’ from hotel owners, vendors and all in the business.
They alleged that the hired people collected Rs1,000 each from vendor and shopkeeper of residential areas while the rates of commercial areas and big restaurants were even higher.
NEW SYSTEM: The new police system will ensure more security to people and better eye on crime through improved measures.
This was stated by SSP Tasadduq Husain while addressing an open kutchery at the Satiana Bungalow, some 40km from here, on Monday.
The SSP said the system would help bridging the gap between the public and police.
He said the existing system had been designed by the English on paramilitary lines for keeping locals under a tight grip while the new system was based on the concept of ‘community policing’ the department and the public in which would work in harmony to fight crime and offer security to the law-abiding citizens.
He said Nazims and councillors would have to play a positive role to make the system a success.
Accepting a demand, the SSP agreed to provide transport to police posts Rodala Road and Jhok Ditta from the Police Lines transport pool and hoped the provision of transport would help improving the efficiency and output of the police.
