₹100 cr in Budget for canteens; CM Inaugurates automatic chapati maker that rolls 1,200 rotis/hour
CHIEF Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said the government is planning to open 100 Atal Canteens near slum clusters and construction sites.
Paying obeisance to Lord Hanuman at a temple in her Shalimar Bagh constituency on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, she inaugurated an automatic chapati maker that can roll out 1,200 "rotis" (bread) per hour.
"We have to open 100 Atal Canteens so that no one remains hungry in Delhi. We are planning to start these canteens near slums and construction sites where such automatic machines are installed to provide food," she said.
