Rotten eggs, bananas for DMCH patients

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Rotten eggs and bananas, expired bread, fly infested rice, and adulterated milk are the meals served to patients at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
The Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) mobile court yesterday found a gravely unhygienic environment at the DMCH canteen during a raid. Among other things, the court found around 150 rotten eggs preserved for the patients of the DMCH. The court later destroyed all the eggs.
"The patients will simply be sick if they eat those foods. When we saw
such a serious situation, we went to inform the director of the hospital. But neither the director nor the other officials were available there," said Md. Golam Sarwar, the public analyst of the DCC.
"All the items of the DMCH canteen were either rotten or substandard," he added.
Later the court apprehended Ishaq Ali, the supplier of the eggs, and sent him to one-year of vigorous jail time.
Before that the court collected Tk 21,600 from the Raj and Rajdhani restaurants in Gulistan for selling rotten food, failing to cover food and
keeping food items close to open door toilets.
"The front side of the hotel is so good, but the kitchen is simply dirty and unhygienic. So we warned them and collected fines from them," said a member of the DCC mobile court.
Another mobile court, led by magistrate Md. Rokanuddullah, raided Meghna biscuit and bread factory and found rotten eggs. The court also found different unsafe chemicals used in the bakery products.
The court arrested the owner, Ashraf Khan, and the manager,

Abdur Rahman, and sent them to jail for one month. The court also charged fines to Ashraf Khan for Tk 25000 as he did not have any Bangladesh Standard and Testing Institution (BSTI) certificates.
Another mobile court, led by ABM Abdul Fattah, collected Tk 60000 from different food producers and food item traders from a market near the cantonment. The court charged fines to Tanduri restaurant, Crystal, Western, Good Food, Queen fast food shop, and Mita departmental store. The court also collected fines from Bikrampur and Vaggyakul sweetmeat shop as they were preserving the sweetmeat in unhygienic areas.
"It seems the mobile court did not make a bit of difference in their attitudes. They are selling expired food items and preserving them in very unhygienic conditions, even though those shops are making good money out of their business," said Abdul Fattha.
