Uttar Pradesh: IPS takes Mainpuri Police mess in-charge to task over sub-standard food, video goes viral

The condition of the Uttar Pradesh Police line mess was recently brought to light when a video of a constable from Firozabad complaining about the food quality hit the internet. The problem of the existing status of food quality in Uttar Pradesh Police was brought up by the viral video.

Another video that described the state of the police line mess went viral on social media. In the footage, Mainpuri SP IPS Kamlesh Dixit was seen examining the undisciplined police line. After noticing the poor quality of the meal, an IPS officer became so outraged that he criticized the mess manager for his negligent actions.

IPS Kamlesh Dixit visited the Mainpuri police line mess to assess the food's quality after concerns regarding the police line's food emerged. The bread, or "roti," was poorly prepared, as observed by IPS. Then he walked inside to look at other food items and saw that the watery "dal" was made for the policemen.  He scolded the mess manager fiercely to improve the standard of the meals and gave instructions on how to do so.
