FSSAI teams have flagged food safety violations at upscale Delhi hotels booked to host delegates attending the BRICS summit. Inspections found cockroaches, flies and expired food items on premises, prompting warnings to the hotels named for the BRICS event. The crackdown comes as New Delhi prepares to receive heads of state and senior officials from BRICS member nations. FSSAI has asked the errant hotels to take immediate corrective action and submit compliance reports.
Why it matters
The lapse directly affects India's diplomatic hosting of BRICS leaders and the reputation of Delhi's luxury hospitality sector ahead of a high-profile international summit.
