Karnataka launches ‘Indira Canteen’ in Bengaluru

‘Indira Canteen’, aimed at serving the poor at subsidised rates, was inaugurated in Bengaluru on Wednesday by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.

Mr. Gandhi, who had the first breakfast at the canteen in Jayanagar, said ‘Indira Canteens’ would serve the migrants who came to Bengaluru with a dream to build something. “No person in Bengaluru should ever go hungry and the canteens are a great means towards it,” he said, asking the government to give much attention to cleanliness and taste.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that Indira Canteens was a continuation of the Congress’s commitment to a hunger-free Karnataka.
