GVMC commissioner M Hari Narayanan, on Tuesday, inspected various locales in Visakhapatnam to establish the much-awaited Anna Canteens in the city. Reportedly, Narayanan visited 75 feet road, fruit market, Gopalapatnam Rythu Bazar, Baji Junction for inspection before Anna Canteens are set up.
The commissioner directed the officials to locate suitable places to set the canteens up so that they would be close to the people.
The state government had sent a team of commissioners from various civic bodies of AP, including GVMC commissioner M Hari Narayanan to Hyderabad and Chennai to observe how Annapurna and Amma canteens are functioned. The team has noticed that the standard menu and price on an average is Rs 5 for breakfast and Rs 10 for both lunch and dinner. The total cost for three meals a day was Rs 57 and customers pay only 25 while the remaining amount comes under government’s subsidy. The government is planning to set up at least one canteen in the city by June 2nd.
Earlier, it was reported that the government had withdrawn the idea of constructing centralized kitchens which supply food for the canteens and are looking forward to private agencies like Akshayapatra for the kitchens’ construction. They are also planning to appoint a private agency to decide the price and menu of the food items.
