PANJIM: Stating that the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) should not become a terrorising agency, Health Minister Vishwajit Rane said that eateries and restaurants will be asked to follow guidelines in a friendly manner.
Rane, while replying on the floor of the House on Wednesday, said that Food and Drugs Administration won’t go aggressively over issues but in a friendly manner and people will be asked to follow all the guidelines.
Deputy Speaker Michael Lobo brought to the notice of the Minister that most of the restaurants in the coastal belt are violating Food and Drugs Administration hygiene guidelines. However, the Minister said he had already asked Food and Drugs Administration to inspect and submit the report in two weeks.
He said that even self help groups in the State would be monitored by the department but in a friendly manner. The Minister assured a separate FDA office in South Goa.
