Islamabad: The sale of sub-standard fried eatables is on full swing
on roadside stalls while there is no check and balance on these stalls
on part of Food department.
Large number of stalls could be seen
around roadside in different localities of federal capital selling
traditional fried food like samosas, pakoras, French fries, jalaby,
phaniyaan, boondi, Cham cham, fry bread, fry eggs, fry spinach, bason ke
laddu, patisa, halwa puri, gulgulay, kabab, mince golas etc. The
stallholders are not following the hygienic rules, which are causing
abdomen diseases among the residents.
The stallholders fry this
traditional food in sub-standard cooking oil and in pinching heat. The
flies could be seen wandering and sitting on the food.
On the
other side selling of unhygienic aalo chaat, dahi bhallay, gol gappay ,
ice golas and spurious beverages is aggravating problems. The rozadars
like to eat these food on Aftar time but they should be careful while
purchasing these foods from low standard stalls.
The residents have demanded of Food department to impose check and balance on these stallholders. Online
