The Health Department today sealed a fast food joint located at J block in Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar here.

On Friday, a city resident had submitted a complaint to the Health Department after he found a dead lizard in an egg roll ordered from the joint.

District Health Officer Dr Rajesh Garg said he along with a team of food safety officers went to the fast food joint but it was found closed. “We have sealed the shop and have pasted a notice outside it asking the shop owner to contact the Health Department,” he said.

Dilpreet Singh, resident of Rajguru Nagar, had ordered manchurian and egg roll from the fast food joint and when they had already eaten half of the food they found a dead lizard inside the egg roll. The family then went to a hospital for necessary medication and spent the whole night in difficulty.
