The Food Safety department also found expired dairy products and unhygienic kitchens, closing one outlet. Separately, police have detained more than 100 people suspected of staying in the city without valid documents, following checks in the Electronic City division. Pro-Kannada activists have called for a border blockade at Attibele and a statewide bandh on August 13 over the Cauvery water dispute. The food safety drive follows earlier inspections of 26 three- and five-star hotels last week. Restaurant bodies have deferred a proposed boycott of food-delivery platforms after talks. The second airport proposal near Tumakuru also continues to generate debate. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - thefederal.com Tags: bandh, Bengaluru, Cauvery dispute, food safety, illegal immigrants, restaurant boycott Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-news-132-kg-rotten-food-seized-100-detained-bandh-on-aug-13/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
