Rats and cockroaches are out of our hands, says hotel body chief amid FDA drive
Vijay Shetty, the head of the Indian Hotel & Restaurant Association in Mumbai, stated that pests like rats and cockroaches are "beyond our control." He argued that the license of a food outlet should not be suspended over a "small violation" such as spotting a rat or cockroach. These comments were made during an ongoing drive by the Maharashtra FDA, led by Tukaram Mundhe, targeting unsanitary conditions in restaurants.
