In an unfortunate incident during the festive season, a large swarm of bees descended on a Diwali sweets stall in Fatehabad, Haryana, causing significant losses for the shopkeeper and injuring several employees. The incident took place at Lovely Sweets near Maharaja Agrasen Chowk in Fatehabad city, where the shop had set up a temporary stall to sell Diwali sweets. Shop owner Rinku estimated his losses at around Rs. 1 lakh as hundreds of bees covered the food items, rendering them unfit for sale. Two to three employees also sustained injuries from the bee stings. Rinku suspects that someone may have released the bees intentionally from a nearby beehive, but no concrete evidence has been provided yet. The incident highlights the risks of selling food items in the open during festivals and raises concerns about the need for proper food safety measures. Fatehabad Food Safety Officer Ravi Rathi has urged shopkeepers to keep sweets covered and follow food safety regulations to prevent contamination, as the department had previously conducted awareness campaigns and plans to organize more drives in the near future.
