Sanjay Gaikwad assault row: FDA suspends Ajanta Caterers’ licence hours after MLA canteen inspection; flags 79 ‘violations’

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took action against Ajanta Caterers. This followed a video showing a legislator assaulting a staffer. An inspection revealed 79 violations at the Colaba hostel canteen. Issues included stagnant water and unclean conditions. The FDA had inspected the caterer recently. Staff shortages previously hindered thorough inspections. New officers have joined the FDA to improve oversight.
