Atal Canteens Serve 64,446 Meals in 72 Hours
The Atal Canteens in Delhi have started serving meals to people for just Rs 5.
In the first 72 hours, they served 64,446 meals.
The canteens were opened by the Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, on December 25, which was the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
The government is helping by paying Rs 25 for each meal, so people only pay Rs 5.
The food is called 'satvik,' which means it is healthy and good for you.
The idea is to make sure no one in Delhi goes to bed hungry.
Atal Canteens served 64,446 meals in 72 hours after launch.
Meals cost Rs 5 for consumers, with a government subsidy of Rs 25 per meal.
Inaugurated by Delhi CM Rekha Gupta on December 25, the birth anniversary of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
