Chapathis in Amma canteen to be delayed
Posted on: 20/Nov/2013 12:11:40 PM
It was decided to provide chapathis at Amma Canteen from today because the Chennai Corporation has failed to procure chapatti-making machines in all the 15 zones.
In May, after seeing the success of the canteens, the state government announced that dinner with chapatti and dal would be introduced at a cost of Rs 3. "The chief minister wants to launch dinner in 200 canteens at the same time. But there was a delay in getting the chapatti-making machines in some zones which forced us to postpone the launch of the dinner at the canteens" said a senior corporation official.
Jayalalithaa inaugurated the low budget canteen in February this year. More than 2,400 women from self help groups are involved in cooking, serving and managing the canteens.
