Bathinda, January 11
Officials of the Health Department organised a camp at the Mal Godam Road, near Lajjawati Dharamshala, enabling the food business operators to submit forms for seeking registration and licence under the Food Safety and Standards Act of India (FSSAI) whose deadline expires on February 4.
Headed by District Health Officer Dr Raghubir Singh Randhawa, a team registered around 60 to 70 karyana merchants.
Dr Randhawa said owing to lohri season, the response had been lukewarm. The department will hold camp again after the festival season is over.
Meanwhile, similar camp will be held at Goniana on January 14.
Creating awareness, conducting camps , inspections, sampling ,action - all should follow to make FBOs speed up for registration / licensing.
