The newly recruited inspectors will undergo rigorous training and be deployed across various districts to ensure uniform implementation of the Food Safety and Standards Act.
State officials from the Health and Family Welfare Department, along with senior bureaucrats, were present at the ceremony. The event also featured interactive sessions with the new recruits, focusing on the responsibilities and ethical standards expected from government officers.
