Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Aug 22: A senior health inspector of the Indira Canteen located at Subrahmanyanagara ward in the city has been suspended for dereliction of duty.

City mayor, G Padmavati, said in her letter to the corporation commissioner that the employee is guilty of dereliction of duty in not arranging to provide breakfast to the people.

As there were numerous complaints about not providing breakfast properly in the government's ambitious Indira Canteens, the mayor wanted to check these complaints personally.

When she went to the Indira Canteen at Subrahmanyanagara on Monday. Murthy, who was in charge of the canteen, had not arranged to provide breakfast to visitors. Instead, he had hung a board that said that the canteen was closed.

The mayor got angry at this, and took the health inspector severely to task. Murthy tried to explain that it was not possible to distribute breakfast on account of shortage of drinking water. At this, Padmavati called up minister for Bengaluru development, K J George, and told him what had happened. As desired by him, she also passed instructions to suspend Murthy.

She then visited four more Indira Canteens and personally verified their functioning. She even interacted with customers about quality, service etc.

very good canteen and food is like 5 star hotel.2idlis and 2 vadas for Rs 5.who will give this.even lunch is the best provided with nice dishes.very tasty.even middle class can go and eat.people come by car and eat.rich people also come.they take big packets of food for all people in the family.amount is within R s100 for full day.

It seems the rich are taking advantage of this scheme too.

Why can't the govt. provide the food at low prices only to those who hold BPL cards etc., and at the same time charge full fare for those who do not possess proof of being poor???

The name should be India canteen or Bharath Canteen. It is not a family property to start this canteen like Amma canteen just before the election to get political mileage. Are they trained or Siddu is sending them to Singapore for training?. See how he is keeping upma/ Pongal just below the counter as if people are going to attack him or it might be easy to smuggle from back door. When you keep the food below the counter chances of insects falling in to it. Good job by health inspector. Jai hind.

Siddu & Pappu copied the idea from Late Jayalalith's Amma canteen,

Shah have his own brain no need to copy.

Tell your Pappu & Dictator Waitress to go to school again to improve their IQ.

Pappu followers don't have common sense, please note the following,

1. It is not the duty of a Senior Health Officer to arrange Breakfast to serve in Indira Canteen
2. Health Officer given proper explanation that without Drinking water serving Breakfast like is not right .
Why they sacked him?

This proves that all congies act like dectators.

Doctors are responsible for short supply of essential medicines in government hospitals and they will be suspended from service if prescriptions are issued to medical stores outside. Health Inspectors in charge of Indira canteens will be suspended if food is not made available. It is their duty to provide food. If funds are not made available by the Government, they shall dispose their family property and arrange required funds to run the show. The downtrodden and underprivileged class is shown as an asset in the balance sheet of political parties to their advantage. Because, they can be appeased by spending few crores on eve of election to win substantial decisive votes. While eradicating slums, they have protected a few in metros so that their leaders in white khadi can take up cleaning of slums during Gandhi Jayanthi in full media glare....!

'Indira Canteen' is the joke of this century. Poor health Inspector is getting sacked not the health minister? Before launching this Programme, the Govt. should have checked all the feasibility of its success. Adequate drinking water, Good higine conditions, enough ready food are the essential. Otherwise, it is impossible. Looking forward..........

@Laxman,

chances are he is stealthily serving left overs to the customers and pocketing the difference himself.

Canteen inspector could also be hand in hand with that guy in the photo serving food.

Anyway, thanks for the govt. initiative, but needs to be streamlined and run efficiently.

Jai Hind!!

Define "Real", yes it is always appreciated to provide subsidized food , you need to understand why this particular canteen was closed "due to shortage of drinking water". .. A real canteen you would have all the basic facilities set before opening to public.

Indira Canteen will disappear along with Congress Party in India very soon...People rushed to have good Breakfast and Lunch at cheaper rate..According to people, Breakfast is good, but Lunch is below quality....75% People who had food reported this news to TV channel who went to there to take survey... This is Siddu's gimmick to win next election...If he gives Sambar without Salt, People will give him water in next election...

Note: Siddu does not know that most of the temples in Karnataka give free lunch to devotees 365 days....But he is least bothered to make any repair or renovation work of temples..

Why is it that the Middle class in India is always upset when things are done for the poor? Is the government only for the rich like Adani's, businessmen and salaried middle class? I don't think Siddu wants these votes as most are already brainwashed and become blind bhakts. It is the poor who were mesmerised with jumla promises who voted for the BJP last time, who will come back and vote for the Congress.

We are aware that this is a pre-election gimic by Congress. All the left over of the marriage functions are sent to these canteens & distributed to the poor & innocent people who are unaware of the real story. This information is true & reported by a sting operation by Public TV. No further justification is required to the act of left over distribution.

But there is no appreciation from the public for the free meals in the temples which is served to the people who visit temples.

Also, we have to note that there is another scam in d making. Check this out.

As per govt it takes Rs. 52 for one person's breakfast, lunch and dinner. User pays Rs. 5 for breakfast and RS. 10 each for lunch and dinner. So RS. 25 paid by user for his food. Govt pays the remaining RS. 27 to the contractor. On an average of one Canteen caters 500 people per day this RS. 27 paid by govt to d contactor would be Rs. 13500. Now the contractor feeds only 250 customers and says he fed 500 customers. So he makes RS. 6750 in one Canteen per day. Multiply 132 canteens in Bangalore comes upto RS. 891000. If this runs for 6 months, i.e., untill election is declared for Karnataka RS.891000 * 180 = RS.16,03,80,000/-. How much does Congress pocket out of poor man's discounted food.

If elected MP's can get a 5-star meal in parliament canteen for less than 30 Rupees then why do bjp bhakts feel jealous when a poor man can buy meals for cheap rates.

The bottom line is that bjp supporters are jealous with the development of Indira Canteen. Let them apply Burnol, Itchguard and Zandu balm.

Dear ever-pious devotees of Siddramaiah, Congress & Sonia,

I know its a hard bitter truth to digest. Also, means that Devotees of Congress have shown full support towards supply of poor quality food for poor innocent people, even after the real coverage given by Public TV, which is evident in dislikes. Ha ha... Let your blind devotion continue, nodding whatever your Congress says.

Congress is least bothered to give hygienic food & it supplies marriage function food collected in the evening & supplies to the Indira Canteen which is stored and collected & distributed only the next day or successive days on all the 3 time slots of the day. God knows how much worms wriggle & flies wander around it & the real way the food is stored. For proof, check Public TV Report.

What makes you to think that contractor feeds only 250 people instead of 500 and pocket the subsidy? He may feed 600 out of charity and claim only 500 that was limited. Don't assume all are crooks. There are ordinary people who feed the hungry paying out of their own pockets. No one should go hungry anymore in a country like India which withstood so many calamities, natural and man made over the centuries. It is every citizen's duty to see the basic needs of fellow citizens are met. God bless India.
