Lake House canteen infested with worms!

 

Saturday, 13 September 2014 

A group of public health inspectors (PHIs) on a routine dengue eradication programme inspected the Lake House (LH) premises on September 11 and found not just dengue larvae, but also many places breeding dengue larvae on a mass scale, say internal sources of the institution. LH newspapers teach the people lessons on curbing dengue mosquitoes, but this has caused immense disgrace to its chairman and nerwspaper editors. They have pleaded with the PHIs not to let this incident to be known by other media institutions. They have also requested a short period to rectify the situation.

Allowing their request, the PHIs have got a promise from them that they would rectify it, and were about to leave the institution, when one employee asked them, for the sake of employee welfare and wellbeing, to go and have a look at the canteen there. After being pressed on by the employees, the group of PHIs has gone to the canteen and inspected the place.

They have first seen that the coconut scraper attached to a table was infested with worms. Every place they inspected thereafter was full of worms, which took them quite by surprise. They have told LH authorities that they had no option but to seal the canteen, as it is a place that provides meals to employees on a daily basis. Again, the LH management have pleaded with them and assured that the standards of the canteen would be brought to required levels within a few days.
