According to the complaint, a customer found chicken pieces and bones in the paneer gravy of the thali. The department ordered collection of a sample in the presence of the complainant and a food inspector. The sample has been sent for testing.

The canteen contractor was called in for an explanation. He claimed it was an act of mischief by some unidentified persons. The department has promised appropriate action in the matter after receiving the test report.
