Health Inspector (Municipal)
Your morning begins with an inspection round of 15 food stalls and restaurants in your municipal ward, checking for fly-breeding conditions, proper food storage, and valid FSSAI licences before issuing two improvement notices. Afternoons are spent investigating a diarrhoea cluster report in a slum locality — collecting water samples, interviewing residents, coordinating with the water supply department, and submitting a disease surveillance report to the DMO.
