The ambitious project of the State Government to supply heavily-subsidised quality food under the banner “Indira Canteen” will be expanded to other cities in the State. Initially, the project will be launched in Bengaluru at 198 wards of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike, said Food and Civil Supplies Minister U.T. Khader.
Speaking to reporters here yesterday, Khader said that once the project is implemented in Bengaluru, it will be expanded depending on the popularity. To fulfil the requirements of “Indira Canteen”, the State Government is spending Rs. 100 crore annually, he said.
