How to Report a School Buffer Food Stall
Protect children by enforcing the statutory 50-meter junk food & tobacco buffer zone around schools
Open Vigilance Map
Click "Report Food Stall" on any petition or in your citizen grievances dashboard to open the school vigilance report form.
Search & Point School
Select your district, then use the map search bar to search the school name. Tap "Point Map 🎯" to center the view and highlight the 50m violation circle.
Pinpoint Stall GPS
Drag the red marker (📍) to the vendor's exact position near the school gate or footpath, or tap "Recapture GPS" if standing right in front of the stall.
Describe & Add Photos
Enter the shop/vendor name and describe the health risk (e.g. tobacco, expired food, junk snacks). You can use speech mic dictation and upload up to 5 photos.
Submit & Enforce
Review calculated distance (e.g. 15m from school). Confirm submission to generate a unique Grievance ID (e.g. GRV-MH-xxxx) for municipal inspection.
Statutory Regulation: Under government guidelines and FSSAI directives, selling high-fat, sugar, or tobacco products within 50 meters of any school campus gate is strictly prohibited. Verified reports are submitted directly to municipal food safety authorities.
