Earlier, a resident of Gujarat claimed to have found a rat in sambar while dining at a restaurant in Ahmedabad. He raised the issue with the owner of the restaurant, but after an unsatisfactory response from him, the matter was escalated to the health department of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).

The department promptly responded to the complaint and visited the restaurant’s kitchen. They found it open, with access to rodents and other animals and deemed it unsafe. The authorities further sealed the restaurant and issued a notice to the owner of the restaurant.

The notice directed the owner to address the food safety issues immediately to avoid any further repercussions.
