Punjab Food Authority (PFA) conducted a crackdown against individuals who were selling substandard food items during sehri and iftar times and slapped heavy fines on them for breaking the rules and regulations.
During the operation, several snack bars, supermarkets, refreshment centres, and restaurants were thoroughly inspected, the official added.
A hotel in Rawal Town Phase 2 was sealed when a large number of cockroaches were found inside the facility. As a result, its operations were suspended.
The official said that five other units are also on the target for selling illegal products and not complying with sanitary requirements.
