Tihar gets it's first lot of food safety supervisors

Tihar gets it's first lot of food safety supervisors

New Delhi, Jul 10 (UNI) Department of Food Safety has made it mandatory to deploy a food safety supervisor in Tihar Prison complex.
In view of the mandate given by Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), Department of Food Safety conducted the training of 950 inmates in the months of May and June.
These inmates were certified as 'Food Safety Supervisor' in the prison complex and were awarded certificates by Delhi Minister of Home and Health Satyendra Jain at a programme.
Mr Vishwas Tripathi, the Chairman of the United News of India (UNI) Board of Directors, DG prison Ajay Kashyap, commissioner Food Safety L R Garg, and officials from the department of Food Safety and Delhi Prisons were present on the occasion.
Indraprastha Academy Foundation had organised the program and had also conducted the training from its own funds.
'Delhi government has taken many initiatives to improve the standards of Food Safety across Delhi through its mission 'Sehatmand Delhi'. We can take pride for the initiative as it is the first time in the country that any government has initiated such a large-scale food safety programme in its prison complex,' Mr Jain said.
Mr Kashyap emphasised that since the inmates leave the prison after certain intervals it is important that refresher courses are organised for them on a regular basis.
It is also proposed to have a laboratory inside the prison complex so that food prepared can be tested before such large-scale consumption.
Tihar Prison complex which houses 32 kitchens and two manufacturing units prepares food for almost 40,000 people.
