LAHORE: Lahore, a city that is renowned for being a food city with hundreds of restaurants, is famous worldwide, but from the last years, Lahore’s food has become famous for all the wrong reasons.
In a recent incident, two innocent young girls died when they allegedly ate loaded fries from a restaurant near Johar Town. The harrowing incident occurred as kids fell seriously ill mere hours after consuming the fast food last weekend (August 15).
According to the family, the four-year-old girl succumbed to death on Monday morning at Sheikh Zayed Hospital, whereas her 7-year-old sibling, who had been shifted to the Children’s Hospital, died the next day.
A third child also got ill but recovered from a serious medical condition and survived. In a heartbreaking post, the father of the girls stated, “We have lost everything. No one can even imagine the pain. I am not after money, I only want my daughters back.”
The family lodged application for FIR against the restaurant and presented medical proof, but the authorities remain silent on the issue.
Social media has gone into frenzy, with citizens calling for instant action against food establishments indicted for negligence. The episode has created severe food safety concerns in the city, and Lahore is left shaken and mourning.
