ISLAMABAD, Nov 27 (APP):The Islamabad Food Authority (IFA) has called on every restaurant and food point in the federal capital to finish their registration process within the next three days, warning that action will begin immediately after the deadline.
According to Deputy Director of Islamabad Food Authority (IFA) Dr Tahira Siddique, all businesses serving food must complete their registration by November 30 without delay. She said that the upcoming action will cover the entire city and no unregistered outlet will be allowed to continue operations once the deadline ends.
Dr Tahira said that from December 1, any restaurant or food point operating without registration will not be permitted to function. She added that IFA inspection teams will conduct daily inspections across Islamabad to check compliance.
Officials explained that unregistered outlets will face closures and heavy fines. The Islamabad Food Authority has clearly stated that the enforcement drive will begin right after the deadline, leaving no room for extensions or leniency.
To facilitate business owners, the Food Authority has set up a special registration desk at the Business Facilitation Centre. According to the Deputy Director Operations, this desk is designed to help owners complete the licensing process quickly. The authority’s staff is ensuring on-spot registration through a simple and timely procedure.
In her statement, Dr Tahira reiterated that the department is focusing on bringing every food outlet under the registration system. She said that all outlets, regardless of size or location, must follow the same rules and finish the process within the given time.
The authority has appealed to all restaurant and food point owners to complete registration by 30 November to avoid penalties. Officials said the drive aims to maintain public health standards and ensure that every food outlet meets the basic requirements set by the authority.
With the countdown now reduced to three days, the Islamabad Food Authority has made it clear that the registration deadline is final and that the citywide crackdown will begin on December 1 without exception.
