Officials said a dead cockroach was allegedly found in the sambar served to guests at a five-star hotel in Ahmedabad on Wednesday morning. The local civic body responded by sealing the hotel’s kitchen for 48 hours.
During a function at the Hyatt Ahmedabad hotel in the Vastrapur area, a guest found a cockroach in the sambar and recorded a video, said Bhavin Joshi, the designated officer of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s Food Department.
“A guest discovered a dead cockroach in the sambar and notified the hotel management. He made a video and filed a formal complaint through our portal. During our inspection, we found the hotel’s ‘Indian Kitchen’ section was unhygienic, so we immediately sealed the kitchen,” said Joshi.
The AMC’s closure notice on the kitchen door stated that the cooking area would be shut for 48 hours for public health reasons. The notice also warned that reopening the kitchen without permission from the competent authority would result in legal action.
