These activities were found to lack essential health standards and proper hygiene, putting the public at risk. Additionally, seven other venues were cited for various health violations.

The municipality also extended its oversight to commercial and industrial activities, particularly in the new industrial area, where efforts were made to prevent operations outside designated boundaries.
