Babai Hotel, Kakatiya Military & Silver Bawarchi in Patancheru face violations
Patancheru: A task force from the Telangana Commissioner of Food Safety conducted inspections in the Patancheru area on October 1, 2024, revealing multiple food safety violations at Babai Hotel, Kakatiya Military Hotel, and Silver Bawarchi Restaurant & Bakers.
Babai Hotel
During the raid at Babai Hotel, officials found that the establishment did not have a valid FSSAI license, with the owner stating it was still in the application stage. The task force observed a live cockroach infestation within the kitchen and storeroom.
Additionally, food items stored in the refrigerator were neither covered nor properly labelled. Expired raw food items, including papad and shah jeera, were identified and discarded on the spot. The kitchen’s windows lacked insect-proof screens, and the doors were not properly fitted to prevent pest entry.
Furthermore, medical fitness certificates for food handlers and a water analysis report for the bubbling water used in food preparation were unavailable. However, food handlers were seen wearing hair caps and aprons.
Task force team has conducted inspections in Patancheruvu area on 01.10.2024.

Silver Bawarchi Restaurant & Bakers
Silver Bawarchi Restaurant displayed a valid FSSAI license, but a live cockroach infestation was observed in the kitchen on storage racks. Some food articles in the refrigerator were improperly covered or labelled.
Expired items were identified and discarded, including dark soy sauce, Puratos brand premix, and vanilla flavouring agents. The kitchen’s flooring and walls had broken tiles and uneven surfaces, resulting in water stagnation.
Medical fitness certificates for food handlers and water analysis reports were also missing. Additionally, biscuits and other bakery items sold on the premises were found without proper labels.
