2. Administration tries to play it down
)
The administration tried to play down the issue saying they are not aware of the presence of worms in rice. It was left to a whistleblower police officer to blow the lid off the abysmal quality of food which was served in the shelter.
3. Govt officials, doctors to first eat food to ensure quality
)
DM said that it is the priority of the administration to provide quality food to the people. To ensure that good quality of food is served from now, either a government officer or a doctor will first taste it and then it will be served to people.
