Episode Title: ’ALWAYS FREE WATER in India’ - A New FSSAI Rule ‘Enforcement’ in India #shorts
Produced by: FactTechz
Description: Maharashtra strengthens enforcement of free drinking-water rule Restaurants, hotels and other food outlets across Maharashtra must provide customers with safe drinking water free of charge under a major enforcement drive led by Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe. Establishments cannot refuse regular potable water or compel diners to purchase packaged bottles. Mundhe has said restaurants should serve safe water first instead of immediately asking customers whether they prefer bottled or regular water. Packaged water may still be sold when a customer specifically chooses it. Food businesses must also display notices informing visitors that free drinking water is available. The order applies widely to hotels, restaurants, dhabas, cafés, canteens, bakeries, sweet shops, food courts, banquet facilities, juice bars, catering units and quick-service outlets. Although the measure has recently attracted attention, the underlying requirement is not entirely new. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India clarified in 2017 that licensed food establishments must make potable drinking water freely available. Maharashtra’s latest order is intended to strengthen implementation of a rule that customers say has frequently been ignored. The wider compliance programme includes a prohibition on serving food in newspapers, requirements for food-grade packaging, restrictions on repeatedly reused cooking oil and mandatory medical examinations and safety training for workers. Large businesses must also provide clearer calorie and allergen information. Outlets violating food-safety requirements may receive improvement notices, financial penalties or prosecution. Serious or repeated violations can result in suspension or cancellation of their food licences. The move has been welcomed by consumers who complain that restaurants often push ₹20–₹100 packaged bottles instead of offering ordinary drinking water. Subscribe to FactTechz

Episode Title: SCAM in Indian Railways ‘Charging Point’ #shorts Produced by: FactTechz Description: Indian Railways disables the charging points on trains between 11 pm and 5 am as a precautionary safety measure. This rule comes in response to several incidents of minor fires and short‑circuits that occurred when passengers overcharged phones, laptops, or used improper adapters overnight. By cutting power to these outlets at night, rail officials aim to reduce fire risk when most passengers are asleep and fires might go unnoticed until they become serious. This policy was first recommended in 2014, after a fire on the Bangalore–Nanded Express ©, and has since been enforced more strictly by the Railway Board across all zones. Western and Southern Railways began implementation in March of that year. While some argue that installing better circuit breakers or upgrading electrical wiring would be a smarter long‑term solution, railways say those infrastructure updates take time and money...
