Continue food safety drive: HC

KOCHI: The high court has directed that the state should continue the drive against the sale of unhygienic food and adulteration. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice A M Shaffique issued the directive while disposing a public interest litigation seeking measures to prevent adulteration and sale of unhygienic food.

The petition was filed by advocate Basil Attipetty following the death of Sachin Roy Mathew, a hotel management student, after he allegedly ate a 'shawarma' from a restaurant in Thiruvananthapuram. Responding to the petition, state had submitted to the court in July 2012 that Rs 4 crore was allotted for implementing the Food Safety and Standards Act in the state.
