Television superstar Shweta Tiwari has raised serious concerns over hygiene standards after she allegedly found a cockroach inside her home following a cold drink delivery.
The His Life actress took to her social media account and shared a video showing the cockroach crawling around her house.
She also tagged the delivery platform and Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Tukaram Munde, asking him to look into the matter.
In the video, Shweta can be seen showing her ordered items and is heard saying, “Aur us ke saath, cockroach bhi aaya. Yeh dekhiye, cockroach pure ghar pe raha hai. Yeh raha, chhota sa. So, should we tag Tukaram Mundhe ji? Mundhe ji, cockroaches are running here in our house right now. Where are you, please remember.”
(And along with that, a cockroach came too. Look at this, the cockroach is running all over the house. There it is, a tiny one. So, should we tag Mr Tukaram Munde? Munde ji, cockroaches have now started entering our home. Where are you? Please look into this.)
Shweta’s post has come at a time when FDA officer Tukaram Munde has been in the spotlight for his stringent food-safety crackdown across Maharashtra.
For the uninitiated, Munde, an IAS officer and the current Commissioner of the state’s FDA, has been leading inspections of restaurants, food businesses and quick-commerce warehouses, with authorities taking action over hygiene and food-safety violations.
Munde has also been trending on social media for his strict approach and work on improving food safety and hygiene standards in the state.
