The team of officers also lifted food samples on suspicion of violating the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The samples were sent to the State Food Laboratory in Nacharam for analysis. Further action would be taken based on the report.
A follow-up inspection was conducted again on Sunday where the officers observed that the hotel management had not taken any corrective measures to maintain hygienic conditions. As per the instructions given by the officers, the hotel was temporarily closed to make required changes.
An adjudication case would also be filed before the Additional Collector of Hyderabad District for imposing a penalty on the hotel management for improper maintenance of hygiene.
