-------------------------- Information Please ! -------------------------- Everyday we read in newspapers about government officials raiding hotel kitchens and issuing notices that unless they clean up their act their licences are likely to be revoked.
Why are the hotels not clearly named. It is the right of every citizen to be informed about all the hotels that do not follow minimum health department norms for kitchens.
Again hotels that are following the regulations should not suffer because due to this lack of information rumours abound and all hotels are tarred by the same brush of being jaundice spreaders.
This is an ideal opportunity for the concerned authorities to strictly implement health rules. Hotels, especially those that follow cleanliness rules, should also welcome this exposure and insist that full disclosure be made by the government. So that the common citizen is aware of the danger's he faces.
The disclosures made in certain newspapers regarding canteens in government establishments is again not surprising but certainly shocking It shows how we the public have been slowly becoming immune to the filth around us and unconcerned about our health being in danger, provided the finished potentially lethal product comes to our table in a presentable manner.
Immediate action needs to be taken and the govt. should act in the matter making full disclosures at all times. They could start by first cleaning their stables, the numerous government department canteens.
What is, however, of paramount importance is the general public's right to this information which is endangering their lives.
