Maharashtra Bans Junk Food Near Schools

In a significant step towards promoting healthy eating habits among students, the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has enforced a ban on the sale of junk food within 50 meters of schools. This initiative is part of a broader effort to combat the growing issue of obesity and related health problems among children. By restricting the availability of unhealthy snacks near educational institutions, the authorities hope to encourage students to make better dietary choices.
