India’s reputation has been worst globally due to unhygienic, dirty surroundings and the picture of India remains negative especially due to the lack of hygiene across the country. However, few cities in India especially in the South have broken the stereotype and considered food safety as Govt’s one of the priority. In Tripura, even after many attempts taken at the IAS level, the condition remains same. On Wednesday, a visit was made to various areas of Agartala city where officials led by DM West Debapriyo Bardhan checked the food quality and the kitchens. Strict warnings have been given to each shopkeeper about cleanliness and hygiene maintenance.
