The Story in Brief
The Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) has asked Zomato to delist and cancel accounts of food businesses that repeatedly violate safety norms. The civic body met Zomato’s legal team and stressed the need to verify FSSAI licence numbers, validity and business category before onboarding restaurants. It also wants a check on multiple establishments operating under one licence and stronger compliance checks before non-compliant outlets are allowed back on the platform. Zomato has assured cooperation.
The Indian Opinion
One more directive to a food delivery giant sounds tough, but the real test is enforcement. The CMC must ensure Zomato does not merely suspend accounts temporarily and then reinstate them with a fresh licence. Multiple establishments hiding under a single FSSAI number is a known loophole. Will the corporation track delisted outlets and check if they resurface under a different name? That will decide if this is a genuine crackdown or just another letter.
