Interestingly, these inspections come amid growing public concern over food safety, especially after a disturbing video surfaced from Hazratbal a few weeks ago. The footage showed a dead mouse floating in a tin of cooking oil used by a vendor, sparking widespread outrage. This led to swift action by both the Food Safety Department and Hazratbal Police, resulting in the vendor’s stall being dismantled and legal proceedings being initiated. Local residents have since called for more frequent and rigorous food safety checks. “We want to feel safe when we eat out, especially in public spaces like markets and street stalls. These inspections are a welcome move,” said Arshad Ahmed, a resident of Lal Chowk. “Authorities should maintain pressure on these vendors to ensure such incidents do not happen again.” Another resident, Riyaz, said, “It’s terrifying to think about the kind of food we might be consuming. This is a step in the right direction, but continuous monitoring is essential. One inspection isn’t enough — vendors must be checked regularly.”
