Shrimaya Hotel had satisfactory kitchen hygiene but lacked testing for pesticide residue and heavy metals in water. Fairfield by Marriott found mixed storage of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, cockroaches, and uncovered ready-to-eat food. Ekdant Prasad Bhandar in the Khajrana Ganesh Temple premises had dirty floors and improper storage of laddoos, while Bhalchandra Prasad Bhandar had dirty floors and workers entering the preparation area in slippers.
Inspections at eight to ten prasad counters found expired drinks, poor storage, and unhygienic kitchens. All samples will be sent to the State Food Testing Laboratory in Bhopal, with notices, improvement directions, and potential legal action based on test reports.
