Shikarpur: A food safety and public health issue has shocked residents of the Shikarpur district. A vegetarian biryani stall located at the Jahangirabad Chungi intersection allegedly found the severed head of a dead lizard in the biryani. A video of the incident went viral on social media, sparking outrage among locals.
According to reports, a young man purchased biryani from a popular vegetarian biryani stall located at the Jahangirabad Chungi intersection. He sat down to eat. As he took a spoonful of the biryani to take the first bite, he noticed a suspicious object among the rice.
When the young man looked closely, he was stunned. He saw the severed head of a dead lizard among the rice and spices. He immediately alerted bystanders and recorded the entire incident on his mobile phone.
It is being reported that the lizard’s head appeared to have been mixed into the biryani during the cooking process and was incorporated into the rice and spices during cooking. This incident has raised serious questions about the quality and cleanliness of food products.
The victim complained to the biryani vendor. It is alleged that the shopkeeper did not take any serious action even after the complaint. According to the youth, the shopkeeper took the matter lightly, saying, “It’s okay, it’s over now.” This attitude angered the youth and the people present.
The youth then shared the video of the incident on social media. After the video went viral, a large number of people have demanded inspections of food quality and food sold in the open.
Local residents say that roadside food should be inspected periodically to prevent people’s health from being compromised. People have demanded that the Food Safety Department take cognizance of the matter and take action.
The role of the Food Safety Department has also become crucial after the incident came to light. Only after an investigation by officials will it be clear how the lizard got into the biryani and the extent of food safety violations.
According to food experts, such negligence in handling food can pose a serious health risk. It is especially important to maintain cleanliness and safety standards for foods prepared and sold in the open.
Currently, the video of the incident is becoming a topic of discussion on social media. Local residents are demanding that the administration take strict action against such food vendors to prevent future incidents and ensure safe and quality food for the public.
