The Food Safety Department is struggling with a lack of resources: an office in a 10x15 feet room in Patna, and the responsibility for 7 districts on one officer.

In Patna, the Food Safety Department is struggling with a shortage of its own resources. The department lacks adequate offices for food safety testing in the district, as well as the necessary number of officers and employees to handle the task, and inadequate facilities to safely store samples. Officials are operating from a small room measuring approximately 10x15 feet. Due to this lack of resources, regularly checking food items has become a significant challenge for the Food Safety Department.
