Bengaluru: The Siddharamaiah Government is opening 500 Indira Canteens, across the State, as a Rajyotsava gift to the people, from November 1. The canteens will be opened in all District Offices, hospitals, government colleges, court complexes and in other important places.
The State’s highly ambitious programme would cost the State exchequer Rs. 89 lakh a day. On August 16, 2017, the Chief Minister had inaugurated 101 Indira Canteens in Bengaluru. These canteens are on the lines of Amma canteens launched by late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa in Tamil Nadu.
