In a conversation with Divya Bhaskar, a young man shared that this afternoon, he went to the La Pino’z Pizza center behind Gujarat College in Ellis Bridge with five of his friends to have pizza. They ordered one large pizza and one small pizza.

Many questions surround the functioning of the Health Department in Ahmedabad city as numerous hotels and restaurants compromise people’s health. In hotel rooms, the presence of insects and other contaminants in food has become a recurring issue due to inadequate hygiene. The Health Department of the Municipal Corporation is now facing numerous inquiries, especially because such incidents are occurring even in well-known branded pizza centers.

Not only hotels but also restaurants may have hygiene issues, although there is no strict enforcement of regulations in place. Food department inspectors are merely imposing nominal fines, but there seems to be a need for more rigorous inspections and checks to ensure food safety.
