Substandard foods
Needless to say, hygienic food is required for sound health.
Let's come to the main point. There are thousands of restaurants and hotels all over Bangladesh. And this is also known to us that most of them are not up to the standard. It has been our tradition to remain silent and silence encourages those carrying on their dishonest way of making money. No voice is raised against them at the right time. Nowadays many fast food shops are using sauce (made with non-food grade colours) and adulterated oil to make their foods. Not only are they careless about the food quality, they don't ensure cleanliness. The condition of most of the restaurants is sordid, and their kitchen is pretty untidy and frowzy. An effective campaign against them was launched by the CTG, but not much has been achieved.
So, intermittent supervision will not work at the end of the day, rather only constant supervision on a long-term basis can be effective.
