GHMC cracks down on Bawarchi Hotel in Musheerabad

Musheerabad: Noted restaurant famous for its biryani, Bawarchi, located at RTC X Roads, was seized by GHMC officials led by Dr Hemalatha, the GHMC Circle 15 AMHO, on Monday. The action was taken as the hotel management failed to respond to several notices issued by GHMC for mandatory installation of onsite waste compost machines. 

As part of Swachh Survekshan, GHMC and water works officials raided several noted restaurants such as Marriot, Crystal, Bawarchi and Astoria. The officials found that these hotels were dumping their waste into drainage lines through manholes and failed to take necessary measures to maintain cleanliness in their premises.

Bawarchi Hotel was served with notices several times for installation of waste compost machine, but the hotel management ignored them. GHMC officials, along with water works team, conducted sudden inspection and checked various departments of the hotel as part of inspection. After the inspection, Dr Hemlatha ordered her staff to seize the hotel until installation of the machine. The seizure was lifted after three hours as the management bought the machine and installed it in the hotel.
