🧠 Problem Title: Lack of Hygiene in Street Food Preparation and Serving in Urban Areas
📝 Problem Description

Street food is widely consumed in many parts of India due to its affordability and convenience. However, in many cases, the preparation and serving of street food do not follow proper hygiene practices., It is often observed that food is prepared in open environments exposed to dust, pollution, and insects. Vendors may not have access to clean water for washing utensils or hands, and food items are sometimes left uncovered for long periods. In addition, waste disposal near food stalls is not always properly managed., I have personally observed street food stalls where hygiene practices are not maintained, such as handling food without proper cleanliness or using unclean surfaces. Despite this, many people continue to consume such food due to convenience and lack of awareness., This situation can lead to health concerns such as stomach infections and food-related illnesses. The issue highlights the gap between food availability and safe food handling practices in public areas., Maintaining hygiene in food preparation is important for public health, but it is often overlooked in informal food setups.
