East Delhi BJP MP Gautam Gambhir today inaugurated ‘Jan Rasoi’ canteen at the Gandhi Nagar market area. This canteen will charge only Rs 1 for a meal and will cater to 500 people. Gambhir is planning to open 5 to 6 canteens in different parts of East Delhi with the next canteen to be opened in the Mayur Vihar District.
“The ‘Jan Rasoi’ will serve nutritious, hygienic food to the needy people at Rs 1 per plate. A total of 500 persons will be provided food every day and second serving will also be allowed”, said Gambhir. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, certain restrictions will be imposed to ensure social distancing. The canteen has a seating capacity of 100 but will feed 50 persons at a time for the time being.
“The token amount of Rs 1 is meant to pay wages to those staff members who will run the kitchen”, Gambhir told reporters. The BJP MP said it was his vision that every person in Delhi gets healthy food and clean water.
