GHMC slaps heavy penalty on restaurant in Secunderabad

The GHMC on Thursday levied a penalty of Rs 1 lakh on Paradise Food Court Private Limited’s restaurant at Secunderabad for unhygienic conditions in the kitchen. It found vegetables in rotten conditions and usage of single-use plastic. On Wednesday, a customer lodged a complaint with the GHMC regarding the quality of food being provided in the restaurant, following which a team of officials including food inspectors, veterinary and vigilance wings inspected the restaurant.

“During our



inspection, we noticed unhygienic conditions in the kitchen and found rotten vegetables. Despite a ban on single use plastic, the management was found to be rampantly using the single use plastic,” said GHMC Food Inspector, Sudershan. As per GHMC rules, Rs 1 lakh penalty was levied on the restaurant, he said. 

In a similar incident, Rs 3 lakh penalty was levied on KLM Fashion Mall at Chandanagar for utilising illegal video display on the main road.
