In a disturbing incident, Devi Dosa Palace, a popular eatery in Ahmedabad, has come under scrutiny after a customer claimed to have found a dead rat in their sambar dish. The incident, which gained widespread attention after a video of the appalling discovery went viral on social media, has led to serious concerns regarding food safety standards at the establishment.
Following the complaint, officials from the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's health department conducted an investigation. It was revealed that the restaurant had not taken any action upon being informed about the highly unhygienic and alarming discovery made by the customer. Consequently, the authorities intervened and promptly sealed the premises. The owner, Alpesh Kevadiya, has been served a notice highlighting the violation of hygiene and sanitary regulations.
Bhavin Joshi, a Food Safety Officer associated with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, expressed his views on the incident. "I call upon all business operators within the Ahmedabad Corporation to exercise utmost caution when serving food to their customers, thus averting any chance of similar incidents," he urged.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the significance of food safety measures and the need for strict adherence to hygiene standards in restaurants. The awareness and responsible actions of both business owners and customers are crucial in maintaining a safe and hygienic food environment. The incident at Devi Dosa Palace highlights the importance of addressing such issues effectively to prevent any potential harm to consumers.
