From time to time, the government has made a claim of ensuring the availability of quality food for the people in the markets, but there is actually no one paying heed to the issues which people are grappling with day-in and day-out. A number of street vendors could be seen selling the fast food items as well as the other stuff in the markets, but hardly the attention is paid towards them as the street food continues to remain uncovered and is being sold to the people without any hesitation. Leaving the eatables uncovered is nothing less than a dangerous trend that can lead to health hazards for the people who eat it. Barely a few people know and avoid eating such stuff in the markets, but a large chunk of people continue to consume such street food. Such an issue comes at a time when the government has ensured that the quality food availability will be ensured to the people in the markets and those involved in selling unhygienic food stuff will be dealt with strictly. Nonetheless, the action continues to be delayed as such a practice goes on without any care and objection, therefore allowing the street food vendors to go ahead with the practice and jeopardize the lives of the people. It is the time when the action needs to be taken against the vendors for putting the lives of customers at risk, therefore, the drive needs to be started in this regard and make sure that the people are not forced to consume the contaminated or unhygienic food that can leave them in trouble.
