Mr. Khader said, “I received a complaint from a consumer about eggs containing germs. The consumer had also shared a receipt from Blinkit, and the order had been placed on September 1, 2026. I directed department officials to inspect the unit. Several broken and spoiled eggs were found during the inspection.”
He added, “A warning has been issued to the unit manager, and all the eggs were destroyed after a complete inspection.”
