Fifteen tonnes of festive sweets and savouries, ₹30 lakh seized, and Bachupally’s Burfi Ghar told to shut.

The enforcement wing of the Telangana Standards Authority for Food and Essential Drugs seized 15 tonnes of food articles worth ₹30 lakh during inspections of sweet and savoury manufacturing and retail units in Hyderabad’s Core Urban Region ahead of Milad-un-Nabi and Raksha Bandhan. The drive is a Tuesday, 25 August 2026, festival-season action. A public account of it was filed after midnight, so the card lives on the 26 August paper and stays tomorrow. This cutting is not a rewrite of the already-distinct 22 August dark-store raids or the 18 August police ghee seizure.

Fifteen teams of Food Safety Officers and police inspected 32 retail and manufacturing units in the Core Urban Region. Violations listed on the opened cards are poor hygiene, improper storage and handling, expired food, spoiled vegetables with fungal infestation, pest and rodent infestation, labelling and packaging breaches, and misleading claims. A listed violation is an inspection finding. It is not a conviction.

Thirty-five food samples were lifted on suspicion of adulteration and sent for analysis. Suspicion and a laboratory dispatch are the verbs. An adulteration certificate is not. This desk will not invent a failed-sample count the cards do not lock.

The licence of Burfi Ghar at Bachupally was suspended. The establishment was directed to discontinue operations immediately. Twelve improvement notices and four show-cause notices were issued. A licence suspension is an administrative order. It is not a criminal sentence. Twelve improvement notices are not four show-cause notices. This desk will not merge them.

A second, thinner public account of the same 32 units, 15 teams, 35 samples, ₹30 lakh, 15 tonnes, Burfi Ghar suspension and 12-plus-4 notices names Telangana Standards Authority for Food and Essential Drugs Commissioner Avinash Mohanty as the officer who ordered the raids, and names Pulla Reddy sweets among shops inspected. Pulla Reddy is on the inspected list on that account. Only Burfi Ghar is named for licence suspension on both desks. This desk will not treat Pulla Reddy as licence-suspended.

Fifteen tonnes and ₹30 lakh are the seizure figures on both accounts. Thirty-two units, 15 teams and 35 samples are the inspection figures on both accounts. This desk will not enlarge the seizure into a city-wide festival ban, and it will not invent a second suspended licence.

Hyderabad’s Core Urban Region is the inspection geography. Bachupally’s Burfi Ghar is the named suspension. Form B and any civic-poll date are not notified on a health cutting. Milad-un-Nabi and Raksha Bandhan are the festival context on the cards. They are not a gazette of shop-wise holiday hours this desk will print.

Until the 35 samples come back from analysis and a further enforcement list is written, the public ledger is a Core Urban Region festival-season drive of 15 teams through 32 units, 15 tonnes seized at ₹30 lakh, 35 samples sent on suspicion, Burfi Ghar at Bachupally told to shut, 12 improvement notices, four show-cause notices, Commissioner Avinash Mohanty named on one account as having ordered the raids, and Pulla Reddy named on that same thinner account as inspected, not suspended. The 22 August dark-store raids and the 18 August ghee seizure already have their own facts. This is Tuesday’s sweet-shop book, filed after midnight for the 26 August paper.
