July 16, 2015 16:55

The Delhi government has decided to start 'aam aadmi' canteens in the national capital which will provide 'wholesome' meals for Rs 5 to Rs 10.

The canteens will first be introduced in industrial areas, hospitals and commercial Institutes and will be run by the Food and Civil supplies ministry.

The canteens are being modeled around J Jayalalithaa's Amma Canteens which have been set up in Tamil Nadu and are hugely popular.

The canteens provide three meals every day and on the menu is sambar rice, curd rice, lemon rice, idli and chapatis aimed at providing nutrition to the poor working class at nominal rates.
