ISLAMABAD: The federal capital administration is fully active against restaurants and eateries involved in serving substandard and unhealthy food.
According to media reports, authorities in the federal capital have sealed a dozen more restaurants and eateries besides imposing heavy fines during a campaign against the substandard and unhealthy food.
The local administration has conducted raids on different restaurants, including KFC, Hardees, Savour Foods, Fresco Sweets, Jahangir Barbecue, Usmania and others.
Some of the restaurants were sealed off on account of their failure to maintain hygiene while others faced the wrath of the administration for serving recycled food to visitors. Some eateries were also found to be an open field for rats and insects.
The raids were conducted on restaurants and hotels located at G-6, F-7 and F-9 and Melody Food Park areas of the federal capital. Five restaurants were sealed in the Melody Park alone, while in the Blue Area the authorities not only sealed Fresco Sweets but also took some members of the staff, including manager, into custody.
