Yadav said he has also suggested food inspectors to use the online platform to remain in touch with fellow inspectors and seek their help if needed.
The department will also be providing data cards to food controllers, so that they could remain in contact with the department and interact with their colleagues at the click of a mouse.
The Food Commissioner also plans to hold a department review on Facebook every Thursday once the system starts in all the offices, sources said.
