NOIDA: To ensure proper arrangements are in place for the safety and convenience of kanwariyas or the Lord Shiva devotees, the food safety department on Thursday launched inspections across the kanwar yatra routes in Gautam Budh Nagar district, officials said.
The Food Safety and Drugs Administration (FSDA) is keeping a close tab on the quality of food being served to kanwariyas at the camps set up on the designated kanwar yatra routes under the ambit of Gautam Budh Nagar administration, they added. Different teams of the department were pressed into action following directions of district magistrate Manish Kumar Verma and police commissioner Laxmi Singh to check food joints, shops and restaurants located at kanwar routes for quality of food.
“Various volunteers, city-based NGOs and religious groups play host by setting up camps and providing food to devotees participating in annual kanwar yatra. To ensure that unadulterated and healthy food is being served to them, teams of FSDA have been pressed into action for inspecting these camps and other food joints located at kanwar routes,” said Sarvesh Mishra, food safety officer (FSO), Gautam Budh Nagar.
