Mumbai, July 31 -- At a time when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is cracking down on eateries, including school canteens, for food safety violations, small glass shards were allegedly found in the mid-day meal served to students at the Pantnagar Upper Primary Hindi School, a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)-run school in Ghatkopar on Thursday. According to teachers, a student felt a piece of glass between their teeth while eating the meal. Teachers then immediately asked all students to stop eating as a precaution to prevent any injuries. Some teachers and parents, who did not wish to be named, told HT that concerns over the quality of the mid-day meals supplied by Shruti Mahila Sanstha, a local self-help group, had also been raised in March and April this year, but were allegedly not addressed. BMC education officer Kirtivardhan Kiritkudve said his office had not yet received an official report from the school principal. "The facts need to be verified before any conclusion is drawn. If negligence is found during the inquiry, legal action will be taken against those responsible," he added. Shailesh Talekar, a representative of the Shruti Mahila Sanstha, said, "We are always focused on the quality of the food. We learnt about this incident in the afternoon. On Friday, we will visit the school and check the facts. In the future, we will be more cautious to avoid such incidents."...
