✅ Day-to-day administration and implementation are proceeding smoothly at the Central level, with enforcement carried out by State Food Safety Administrations.

✅ The Chairperson remains in office, and statutory quorum requirements are consistently met through the presence of the Chairperson and ex-officio members, ensuring uninterrupted decision-making.
