Eat Right Challenge and uncovered street food

Srinagar—the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir might have topped in the Eat Right Challenge also known as Eat Right movement, envisioned as a competition among districts to recognize their efforts in adopting and scaling up of various initiatives under Eat Right India, but a look at the street food available in the markets across the district is puncturing the situation as most of the street food sellers don’t even cover the food stuff and thus simultaneously increasing a risk of getting infected after consuming it. The teams have been deputed multiple times across the district to act against the people, involved in selling the unhygienic food stuff to the people, but most of the street food sellers, have never been even questioned for not covering their material, which people consume almost every day. Street food, being prepared by the locals as well as the non-locals, is selling like hot cakes every evening, but one fails to understand why there has been no action against them by the concerned authorities as almost everyone among them don’t prefer to cover the food stuff, which is being sold to the people. In this regard, it is the right time for the authorities concerned to have a look into the matter and ensure that the Eat Right movement is achieved with healthy society and the people who are seemingly reluctant to ensure hygienic food to the people are taken to the task as well.
