Why it matters for the brand
Maharashtra FDA's drive under Tukaram Mundhe suspended 21 licences, 15 of them in Pune Division, five in Mumbai and one in the Konkan Division, and named chains such as Barista, Bhagat Tarachand and Oye Kiddan were among those hit, so multi-outlet operators should audit every outlet's licence and hygiene records now, before inspectors arrive.
