The Sindh government has decided to introduce e-challans in the food authority to improve enforcement. Officials said the system will follow the successful model already used in traffic management.
During a meeting, Food Minister Mehboob-uz-Zaman briefed PPP leader Faryal Talpur on the digitization plan. He highlighted online registration, complaint management, and the digital challan system.
The minister said the digitization of the Sindh Food Authority will make services faster and more transparent. He added that the system will help citizens receive quick responses.
He also informed Faryal Talpur about recent actions taken against substandard food. He briefed her on the vet stock policy and ongoing inspections across the province.

Earlier this year, the Sindh Food Authority raided a well-known Karachi Five-Star Hotel near PID. Inspectors found expired meat, old buttercream, and other substandard items.
The team also discovered unhygienic kitchen and washing areas during the inspection. Officials noted that the hotel had failed to follow basic food safety rules.
The authority later filed a case in the South Civil Judge’s court. It stressed the need for stronger enforcement and greater accountability in the food sector.
