In the video, a hawker who runs an idli stall on the pavements could be seen fetching water from a toilet to prepare chutney.
Shailesh Adhav, Food and Drug Administration said, "The video has come to our knowledge. We'll conduct an enquiry against him as well as others who use such methods to do business."
Asked about the probable action that could be initiated against such vendors, the FDA official said, " When the person will be caught his license will be checked and if any sample is found, it is seized. Necessary action will be taken."
Adhav asserted that the short-video needs to be probed further to decisively conclude about the location and time of the incident.
