Parliament House bans washing of utensils, lunch boxes

In a strange circular, the Lok Sabha Secretariat has directed all the staff and officers working in the Parliament House complex to desist from washing their utensils and lunch boxes in its premises.

The reason behind the official note mentions “blockage of drainage system” and “cleanliness and hygiene”. However, the circular could not clarify properly why the Lok Sabha secretariat suddenly took such a step which has startled the employees.
