FSSAI mandates display of ‘Food Safety Connect' App QR code at food premises

Aimed at safeguarding public health and strengthening the food safety ecosystem, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has asked all Food Business Operators (FBOs), including restaurants, dhabas, cafes, and eateries, to display their FSSAI license/registration certificate with the QR code of Food Safety Connect app in areas visible to customers such as entrances, billing counters, or seating areas. 'This measure will empower consumers by providing them with a direct and user-friendly platform for grievance redressal,'' said a release issued by the FSSAI. Giving details about the move, the Authority added that it has made the QR code of the app available on the front page of the FSSAI Licence and Registration. The FBOs have also been asked to feature the QR code or a direct download link for the Food Safety Connect app on their digital assets, including websites and online ordering platforms, wherever applicable. In a nationwide advisory, all FBOs have been asked to display this in their premises. This is in compliance with the condition of License number 1 of the FSS (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011. Addressing consumer grievances The Food Safety Connect app, developed by theFSSAI, allows consumers to lodge complaints regarding food safety and hygiene issues, report misleading claims on food products, access basic information about licensed and registered FBOs and stay informed about FSSAI's latest food safety initiatives and alerts. Complaints lodged through the app are automatically routed to the concerned jurisdictional authority, which ensures prompt action and minimises delays in addressing consumer grievances.

ED took up 5,892 PMLA cases since 2015, got convictions of 15: Govt to Rajya Sabha

The Finance Ministry has informed Rajya Sabha that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) took up 5,892 cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) since 2015 and secured the conviction of 15 people from these cases during the period. Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said in a written reply: 'In these cases, 1,398 Prosecution Complaints (PCs), including 353 Supplementary PCs have been filed before the respective Special Courts under PMLA. Out of which, so far, the Special Courts have framed charges in 300 Prosecution Complaints including 66 Supplementary PCs and the PMLA Special Courts have convicted 15 persons in eight conviction orders in these cases till June 30.' The minister said that the ED has filed closure reports before the special PMLA court in 49 of the total cases. In an annual report 2024-25, ED Director Rahul Navin said: 'In the early years of administering PMLA, most cases pertained to drug-related offences. Till March 2014, only 1,883 Enforcement Case Information Reports (ECIRs) had been registered — averaging fewer than 200 annually — and just 84 Prosecution Complaints (PCs) were filed, with assets under attachment only Rs 5,171.32 crore.' 'Between April 2014 and March 2024, there has been a significant scale-up in enforcement activity, with 5,113 PMLA investigations initiated — averaging 511 ECIRs annually — and 1,332 PCs filed. I am pleased to report that building on this momentum, in FY- 2024-25, 775 new PMLA investigations were launched, 333 PCs were filed, and notably, 34 individuals were convicted,' he said.

SC hearing next week, Sports City builders start repaying their dues

Noida: Following Noida Authority's notices to developers, some builders involved in the Noida Sports City projects have initiated payments to start clearing their outstanding dues. Notably, a consortium partner in the Sector 150 Sports City project led by Lotus Green Constructions has deposited Rs 80 crore. Officials said that several other consortium partners in the Sector 150 Sports City project have expressed willingness to pay and are likely to follow suit soon. In March, the Authority had issued notices directing developers to settle long-pending dues within a month, in compliance with a high court order issued in Feb. These dues include pending premiums, interest on premiums, penalty interest, lease rent, time extension fees, and the 64.7% additional compensation amount. An official said that 62 notices were issued to various developers across the four Sports City projects in the city. These projects collectively owe Rs 11,000 crore in dues to the Authority.

In a set of rulings on Feb 24 this year, the Allahabad High Court directed the Authority to issue notices to all stakeholders, demanding payment of outstanding dues, including interest and penalties. It warned that failure to comply would result in the automatic cancellation of allotments. Exposing what it described as a "dirty nexus" between real estate developers and Noida Authority officials, the high court had ordered investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) into three of four Sports City projects, citing massive financial and planning irregularities. A division bench comprising Justices Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Prashant Kumar passed 10 separate judgments detailing violations of land use norms, misappropriation of public land, financial mismanagement, and a systematic failure to construct the promised sports infrastructure. In response, many developers approached the Supreme Court, challenging the High Court's verdict. While the apex court did not stay the CBI and ED investigations, it restrained the agencies from taking any coercive action against the developers for the time being. The next round of hearings is scheduled for the first week of Aug. To oversee compliance, the Authority constituted a committee, led by an additional CEO, to pursue recoveries, enforce court-mandated timelines, and monitor the development of the sports infrastructure. The court's scrutiny has focused on Sports City projects in Sectors 78, 79, and 101, developed by Xanadu Estate, and two major projects in Sector 150, developed by Logix Infra Developers and Lotus Greens Constructions. The fourth project is led by ATS Homes in Sector 152. Developers were found to have violated project norms by prioritising residential and commercial development over the mandated sports facilities, which were supposed to occupy 70% of the allotted land. The Xanadu and Logix projects are both currently under insolvency proceedings, which the court criticised as strategic attempts to evade liabilities. First conceptualised in 2004 and launched between 2010 and 2016, the Sports City projects were planned across 798 acres in Noida, promising world-class sports infrastructure, including three golf courses and an international cricket stadium. However, developers focused instead on residential and commercial construction, failing to deliver the promised sports infrastructure.
