Complete list of restaurants sealed, fined by Punjab Food Authority

LAHORE (Staff Report) - Punjab Food Authority (PFA) under Director Ayesha Mumtaz has been sealing and imposing heavy fines to a number of food selling places during a campaign to promote hygienic eating habits in Lahore. The authority caused a real buzz on social media when it raided Lahore's five star hotels i.e Avari Hotel and Pearl Continental Hotel and recently the raids have been extended to other cities of the province as well.

According to online sources the authority has so far taken action against 500+ restaurants whereas over 284 shopkeepers have also been issued legal notices to improve the conditions in their kitchens and food presenting places.

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif also acknowledged the efforts of PFA and a shield was presented to Ayesha Mumtaz in a cabinet meeting. Furthermore provincial government is also planning to categorize the hotels located in Punjab according to health advisory of Punjab Food Authority.

Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) has also been ordered to produce an smart phone based application to report unhealthy conditions at hotels and other food offering places whereas a toll free number (0800-0234) is already functioning in this regard.
