- 5 years ago
India News: Hooked to junk food, many children get trapped by roadside vendors. And UT schools have no way to put a leash on them.
Even as the central government is readying a draft to regulate sale of junk food within 1,500-feet radius of schools in Delhi by July-end, leading private schools in Chandigarh are finding it difficult to check roadside stalls selling junk food.
A case in point is a prominent school in Sector 26 that has been trying to get rid of road-side vendors for quite some time now and is finally planning to lodge a police complaint.
