FDA awaits replies from restaurants at MCA premises: Tukaram Mundhe
Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration has issued notices to five restaurants at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s Bandra-Kurla Complex premises over alleged violations involving third-party operators, FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe said
Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration is awaiting responses from five restaurants operating from the Mumbai Cricket Association's Bandra-Kurla Complex premises regarding third-party contracting arrangements, according to FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe. The FDA has issued notices to Permit Room, Pavilion, Mediterranean, Oriental Swing, and Clubway & Pastry Counter, lifting their suspension following a Bombay High Court intervention last month.
The initial closure was due to hygiene lapses and structural violations. The restaurants are being run by a third-party contractor, Shirke Infrastructure, while the FBO licenses are under MCA's name. According to Mundhe, the law requires the actual operator to have a license and registration, and if the MCA took the license and someone else is operating under it, it is not allowed. The FDA will issue an order once a reply is received from the restaurants.
