Sir: A shocking incident took place recently when more than 730 students belonging to Cadet College suffered from food poisoning. What is atrocious is how this matter has been hushed up. The media should have paid more attention as this is not something that can be ignored. After the death of a girl who ate a burger from a restaurant called Dilpasand, it is necessary that people realise how important it is to stay away from unhygienic food. The media and the authorities should play their part and unveil restaurants and kitchens that do not stand up to hygiene standards. Moreover, the government should allot fines for those vendors who do not maintain quality standards.MARVI MASUDKarachi
