The Story in Brief
Maharashtra hoteliers are scrambling to hire former food safety inspectors after FDA commissioner Tukaram Mundhe suspended hundreds of licences and sealed many premises across the state. NDTV Profit reports that the hospitality industry is panicking over Mundhe’s relentless drive, which has exposed widespread hygiene violations in restaurants, hotels, and dhabas.

The narrative that Tukaram Mundhe’s FDA drive is a vendetta against honest hoteliers ignores the visible hygiene lapses that prompted it. On the other hand, the instant industry response, hiring former inspectors as shields, suggests many are more worried about getting caught than about clean kitchens. The real test will be whether these hired ex-officials actually enforce standards or simply coach owners to pass the next raid.
