A programme of hygienic offering (BHOG) to God has been launched in Bhubaneswar at three places, Maa Kali Temple at Barmunda, Saibaba Temple at Tankapani Road and Shani DevTemple at Vani Vihar, on a pilot basis.
BHOG, an initiative by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), aims to encourage places of worship to adopt and maintain food safety and hygiene and convey food safety messages.
In Odisha, BHOG has been implemented on a pilot basis. Chief Secretary Asit Tripathy on Saturday directed the Housing & Urban Development and the Food Safety Commissionerate to launch a special drive for creating awareness among the street food vendors and the people on food safety.
