Iftar hygiene campaign launched

Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC) launched a campaign on Monday for ensuring hygiene of iftar items, cooked by the food vendors on the streets in the city, reports BSS.

"We have launched the campaign as lots of Dhaka city dwellers used to and love to buy their Iftar from small street vendors but the food that are consumed after a long fasting are not usually that hygienic," BPC Chairman Dr Aurup Chowdhury said while inaugurating the campaign on Dhaka University campus.

Under the eight-day campaign, the instructors of BPC's National Hotel and Tourism Training Institute (NHTTI) will give hygiene training to 200 street food vendors at Shahbagh, TSC, Nilkhet, New market, Elephant Road, Science Laboratory, Dhanmondi and Kalabagan areas in the capital.
