Food outlets told to follow hygiene, quality, and labelling norms
Hyderabad: The GHMC said on Friday that its teams had inspected 57 bakeries in different parts of the city, from where 32 samples were sent to the State Food Laboratory, Nacharam, for analysis. The GHMC directed those in the food business to maintain standards related to hygiene, quality and labeling of products with emphasis on date of preparation and shelf life.
Hyderabad: The GHMC on Friday said it would start an enforcement drive to remove encroachments from footpaths and road margins across the city. A circular issued by the GHMC’s town planning section said that several structures, such as stalls, steps, booths, and boards, were being set up illegally on footpaths, causing obstructions for pedestrians and affecting traffic flow.
Citing Sections 401 and 405 of the GHMC Act, the circular said that such structures were not allowed without permission from the commissioner. The commissioner also has the authority to remove them without notice.
The GHMC said it would carry out regular encroachment-removal drives, preferably every Saturday, in all circles. Each circle is expected to cover at least one road during the weekly drive. These actions will be taken with the help of the traffic police and the enforcement wing under the Operation ROPE initiative.
GHMC zonal commissioners have been directed to monitor and ensure that these drives were implemented regularly. The goal was to keep footpaths clear for pedestrian use and ensure smoother traffic movement across the city.
