Licences of Pune's Hotel Vaishali & Hotel Roopali suspended as food stored near toilets

Maharashtra FDA has suspended the food business licences of two iconic Pune eateries, Hotel Vaishali and Hotel Roopali, after inspections found serious hygiene lapses. Officials reported food stored near toilets, ready-to-eat items kept in open corridors, unhygienic batter preparation areas and possible cross-contamination. They also flagged inadequate kitchen space and missing insect-proof doors.
