Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA), led by Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, suspended the licences of three ISKCON Juhu food establishments after inspections found serious food-safety and hygiene violations. The units at Hare Krishna Land, ISKCON Juhu Food Services–Restaurant and Govinda’s Restaurant were inspected on September 3. Officials reported pest infestation, inadequate cleaning and drainage, improper storage and segregation of raw and cooked food, and missing records related to water testing, employee medical checks, vaccination, training and audits. Govinda’s Restaurant reportedly had standing water in cold storage and blocked drains. The wider crackdown also targeted eateries and food establishments across Mumbai, Konkan and Pune, with violations including cockroaches, improper milk storage, expired food and labelling discrepancies.
