CM Revanth to Launch Hostel Baata

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, along with ministers, party MLAs and MLCs, is set to visit government residential schools and welfare hostels this month under the “Hostel Baata” programme. This move comes after recent food poisoning incidents in government residential schools and welfare hostels, despite the government increasing mess charges significantly by 40 per cent after a decade-long gap to ensure better food quality. To strengthen food safety protocols, the state government has initiated several measures, including a mandatory tasting initiative under which school officials must taste the food before serving it to students, with daily photographic evidence uploaded to a designated app. “Despite the government’s positive decisions for student welfare, some forces are attempting to defame the Congress government by spreading false rumours about food quality,” the CM said during the review meeting last week.
