After the official launch of the ‘Atal Canteen’ scheme by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, several Delhi Ministers have opened similar facilities in different parts of the city. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa inaugurated an Atal Canteen in Shyam Nagar, Rajouri Garden, offering affordable and nutritious meals at just Rs 5. He expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making subsidized meals a reality for the needy and working classes.
Each Atal Canteen, in line with Atal Ji’s principles, aims to serve the underprivileged first, providing food for at least 1,000 individuals twice a day. Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh also inaugurated an Atal Canteen at JJC, Indra Camp-3, Vikaspuri, with plans to open three more in the area soon. These canteens will operate on a first-come, first-served basis, serving up to 1,000 plates daily with a menu consisting of wholesome and hygienic meals.
