Officials found unhygienic conditions, including 45 kg of rotten chicken and beef contaminated with fungus, as well as expired dairy products at the Skyye Lounge on the 16th floor of UB City. The kitchen was immediately shut down due to the alleged violations. During the inspections, authorities seized or disposed of 132 kg of food items across six establishments. At the Skyye Lounge, 45 kg of spoiled meat and 6 kg of vegetable cutlets were declared unfit for consumption and discarded. Additionally, 15 litres of used cooking oil were disposed of. Other eateries, including Royal Chain Hotel, Madras Kitchen, and Tescon Hotel, faced similar findings. For instance, 50 kg of duck and 5 kg of fish were seized at Royal Chain Hotel, while 5 kg of green peas and 5 kg of mushrooms were found at Madras Kitchen and Tescon Hotel, respectively. The inspections also targeted food storage and distribution facilities operated by Coldman Logistics and Radhakrishna Foodland, which supply products to hotels and caterers in Bengaluru. Officials seized 70 kg of soy sauce and other sauces nearing expiry, along with 10 litres of beverages, including strawberry-flavoured drinks.#ub_city #food_safety_inspection #skyye_lounge #fsda #coldman_logistics https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/45-kg-rotten-meat-expired-dairy-bengaluru-ub-city-rooftop-lounge-kitchen-shut-after-food-safety-raid/cid/2174263
Bengaluru Faces Food Safety Raids, Immigration Crackdown, and Border Protests Bengaluru’s recent news cycle has been dominated by a series of developments that highlight ongoing challenges in public safety, governance, and regional tensions. Authorities conducted sweeping food safety inspections, leading to the seizure of 132 kg of spoiled food and 15 liters of used cooking oil from restaurants, hotels, and pubs. The raids, which followed inspections of several star hotels, uncovered violations related to food storage, hygiene, and licensing. At an eatery in UB City, officials found an unhygienic kitchen with rotten chicken and beef, prompting the closure of the establishment. These actions have intensified concerns about food quality in high-end dining spots, with the crackdown likely to remain a focal point for consumer advocacy as inspections continue across the city. Parallel to the food safety measures, the Bengaluru police intensified their efforts against suspected illegal immigrants, detaining over 100 individuals during a verification operation. This follows a larger-scale crackdown in the Electronic City division, where police conducted checks at multiple locations and detained a significant number of people for document verification. Officials emphasized the operation’s aim to identify foreign nationals residing in the country without valid documentation. The immigration crackdown is expected to persist as a key law-and-order issue, reflecting broader concerns about border security and undocumented migration. Meanwhile, tensions at the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border escalated as pro-Kannada activists called for a blockade ahead of a proposed statewide bandh on August 13. The protest, linked to the ongoing Cauvery water dispute, is framed as a warning against potential disruptions.#bengaluru #ub_city #karnataka_tamil_nadu_border #attibele #swiggy_zomato
