Stale food seized from Technopark Restaurants

We reported many times the low quality, high priced food in Technopark restaurants, and finally they got a nice pudding yesterday.

A special squad of the city corporation raided hotels and canteens on the Technopark campus at Kazhakoottam and other places in the city and seized large quantities of stale food on Wednesday.

The stale food included parottas, chappathis, pickles, bread, cake, cooked rice and chicken curry. The raid also unearthed stocks of reused oil.

The squad issued notice to the Café Mojo located in the Gayatri building on the Technopark campus, Amrita Restaurant and Rangoli restaurant on the Nila complex and a canteen in the Tata Consultancy Services building.

The squad filed a complaint with the police after the security personnel at the TCS complex tried to prevent them from inspecting the canteen and taking away the stale food. Health Inspector P. Ajayakumar who led the operation said the police had to be called in after the security staff blocked the exit of the squad members who were in uniform.

All the restaurants within Technopark campus charge unreasonable prices for food items that are not hygienic nor is the quality of food up to the level what they charge for. It seems Technopark authorities don’t have any criteria on how restaurants should operate .

Many restaurants operate in various buildings in Technopark, each of them no better in serving low quality food at unreasonable prices. So many Technoparkians who have their own vehicles manage to go out to eat. The rest of the crowd, mostly the female employees are prey to this day light robbery that cannot be justified by any means.
