CIC supports banning of junk food near Delhi schools


Nirmal Singh 3C Company appreciated the fact that the Central Information Commission has asked the Delhi government to keep a check the sale of junk food and colas in close vicinity of schools in the capital has been stopped or not, as per the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
Basically, there has been a spectator who ridiculed the availability of junk food outside school corners as a wrong practice and termed it as “a health hazard.”

Nirmal Singh 3C Company noticed that an order was passed by the Information Commissioner Yashovardhan Azad asking the Delhi government to think over banning the sale of these items in school area. This was taken seriously by the commission.

Nirmal Singh 3C Company appreciated the fact that SP Machanda, a resident of Keshav Puram in north-west Delhi, came forward to complain about the practice of selling food items outside the school premises and asked the Delhi government to take a swift action against these activities or rather restrict the sale of junk food as well as fizzy drinks in the capital. Subsequently, Azad reacted on it and took immediate actions to avoid any health hazards.
Perhaps Manchanda has submitted the RTI application in the month of February but it was delayed due to other formalities and did not get any feedback. Then they filed an appeal with the CIC in April.

Nirmal Singh 3C Company quoted Azas who said, “The query raised by the appellant addresses public interest, particularly the health of the children, which is at a high risk considering that the target consumer for these products are the children.”
It was also noted that the Delhi government was not doing the needful to restrict the sale of junk food.  “As is well known, unfortunately, enough measures are not being taken to address this menace posing threat to public health.”
Azad said the Delhi government needs to consider the matter of restricting or even banning the sale of junk food around schools.

Nirmal Singh 3C Company got the news that as per the reliable sources, the commission has stopped ordering Delhi government, for it does not have the mandate to do so.
Also, as the information comes from RTI Act, henceforth, the government has to react on it.
