There are many Amma canteens in the city of Chennai and these Amma canteens need workers for their daily operations. It is known that Amma canteens provide good quality foods at subsidized rates for the people.
Now, GCC would be recruiting fresh workers for the Amma canteens based on the representations given by the councillors.
On Thursday, ward number 102 councillor Rani expressed her views. She spoke about how canteens in her ward were filled with opposite party members and their relatives. The mayor mentioned that members of SHG employ Amma canteen workers and the complaint by the councillor would be considered seriously if that was the case.
The Mayor asked the councillors to give representations and action would be taken to employ worthy persons at the Amma canteens. It must be noted that for many years there have been complaints from various quarters regarding misuse of the cooking items at the Amma canteens in Chennai.
