Popular restaurant shut down after insect found in dosa chutney in Jamnagar

According to a TV9 Gujarati report, a customer who ordered a dosa at the well-known Bajrang Dosa located in the Patel Colony area of Jamnagar city found an insect (cockroach) in the chutney. A customer named Dr Bhavesh Vyas spotted the insect while having a meal with his family and expressed displeasure over the shopkeeper's evasive replies. After a video of this incident went viral on social media, the food department took immediate action.

A team from the food department reached the Bajrang Dosa shop and conducted an on-site inspection. During the inspection, the quality and hygiene of food items were checked. Although no insect was seen at the time of inspection, a clear lack of cleanliness was observed in the shop.

Food Safety Officer Nilesh Jasoliya stated that since hygiene was not maintained as per FSSAI standards, an order has been issued to keep Bajrang Dosa closed for 3 days. During this period, instructions were given to ensure thorough cleaning, pest control, water reports, and medical fitness in the shop. The authorities have issued strict instructions to maintain food quality and follow hygiene rules.

This incident has once again raised serious concerns about restaurant hygiene and food safety among people who eat out. When such incidents during the festive season can pose a risk to customers' health, it becomes imperative for the food department to take strict action in such cases and protect the interests of customers. Due to this incident, serious questions regarding the quality and hygiene of food items have been raised once again in Jamnagar city.
