The Story in Brief
A Karnataka Health Department raid at Vidhana Soudha's Mallige Hotel has found cockroaches on eating plates and kitchen surfaces, along with a complete absence of pest control. The canteen serves legislators. Inspections at Arogya Soudha, the health department's own headquarters, uncovered expired idli rava and coconut powder stored in unhygienic conditions.
The statewide crackdown has also sealed a Zepto warehouse in Gottigere over misbranding and hygiene violations, and inspected warehouses of Zomato and other food delivery platforms. Health Minister U.T. Khader said the drive will expand to paying guest accommodations, hostels, and public canteens to enforce hygiene standards across Karnataka.
The Indian Opinion
Karnataka's crackdown on food hygiene has found filth at the very canteen where lawmakers eat. The usual blame-the-state narrative misses the point: this is the same health department that inspected its own headquarters at Arogya Soudha and found expired idli rava and coconut powder. The test now is whether the government will penalise the Vidhana Soudha contractor as swiftly as it sealed the Zepto warehouse, or if official kitchens get a quiet pass.
