Hyderabad Eatery Sealed For Health Violations; Fatal Hit-And-Run In Shamshabad
The Zayaka Food Court in Hyderabad was shut down for severe hygiene violations. Separately, a 55-year-old man was killed in a hit-and-run incident in Shamshabad, and TGWREIS announced new expert faculty recruitment.
Authorities have taken strict action against a popular Hyderabad eatery following a severe health inspection. The Zayaka Food Court, situated near AMB Mall, has had its FSSAI license suspended by the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation food safety team. The closure comes after officials discovered alarming hygiene and safety violations during a recent audit, where the facility managed to score only 25 out of 100 points.
Health Violations and Safety Hazards at Zayaka Food Court
The inspection report revealed a disturbing list of health hazards at the premises. Inspectors uncovered evidence of an active rat infestation, including rodent droppings found among raw ingredients and physical rat burrows within the facility. Further investigations highlighted significant lapses in food storage, such as the use of a non-functional freezer, the presence of stale chicken biryani, and spoiled vegetables. Additionally, the team noted that egg-based mayonnaise was being stored under unsafe conditions.
Beyond these immediate food safety concerns, the establishment also failed to maintain essential documentation. Missing records for medical fitness of staff and inadequate pest control measures were among the key findings that led to the immediate suspension of the FSSAI license. The situation at Zayaka Food Court highlights the critical necessity for restaurants to adhere to strict public health regulations to prevent potential foodborne illnesses.
Tragic Road Accident in Shamshabad
In a separate and tragic incident, a 55-year-old man lost his life in a hit-and-run accident on the outskirts of the city. The incident occurred on Wednesday near the Thondpally railway bridge, located on NH-44 within the Shamshabad police jurisdiction. The victim, identified as Md Zulfakar Ali, a material supplier from Udemgadda, was riding his scooter back to his native village of Veerapur in Vikarabad district after finishing his workday.
According to reports, an unidentified vehicle traveling from Shadnagar toward Shamshabad struck the scooter from behind. The impact threw Md Zulfakar Ali onto the roadway, resulting in severe head trauma. Despite immediate emergency response efforts, the victim passed away at the location. A complaint was subsequently filed by his son, Mohammed Umar, stating that the driver responsible for the collision fled the scene without providing assistance.
