Street food vendors will have to attend online training sessions on following new hygiene norms in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic once the lockdown lifts and they resume business.
In a meeting organised over the Zoom app on Saturday, the National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI) apprised the vendors of its initiatives and the upcoming training for which the association has approached the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
At the training sessions, street food vendors would be made aware of the importance of maintaining proper hygiene like using a hand sanitiser and keeping clean towels. They will also be asked to put up flex banners listing the dos and don’ts for customers near the stalls.
Those attending the training will get a certificate from the FSSAI.
