The move comes in the wake of severe water shortage across the State

The Food Safety Commissioner, Biju Prabhakar, has issued a special set of guidelines to ensure the supply of drinking water through tanker lorries in the district. The guidelines were issued in the wake of a severe shortage of drinking water in various parts of the State. According to an official release issued here on Thursday, the norms make it mandatory for tanker lorries to possess a Food Business Operator (FBO) license under the Food Safety and Standard (Licensing and Registration of Food Business) Regulations, 2011.
