MCD forms enquiry panel to probe workings of kitchen & submit report in seven days

- IFRAH MUFTI @ New Delhi

RAT droppings in wheat flour, expired salt, tobacco packets, and a foul stench of rot: that is what Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials found during a surprise inspection at a Narela kitchen supplying mid-day meals to over 20,000 schoolchildren.

The kitchen, run by the Dalit Manav Utthan Sansthan (DMUS), had been flagged for similar violations in 2023 as well, when the then deputy director of education recommended its blacklisting. However, no action was taken, and the NGO continued to feed thousands of children across MCD schools. The MCD has formed an enquiry committee to probe the workings of the kitchen and submit a report in seven working days.
