A disconcerting video circulating on social media has unveiled a live worm found in food served to international passengers at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport. The incident has evoked distress among viewers, prompting calls for immediate action by the authorities.
Concerns Over Contract Awards
The video highlights concerns about the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) allegedly favoring certain contractors in the procurement of food preparation and service contracts for airport passengers. These allegations have fueled public skepticism and raised questions about the transparency of such dealings.
Recurring Food Quality and Hygiene Issues
