Delhi Govt To Launch 100 Atal Canteens, Offer Rs 5 Nutritious Meals Through Digital Token System

The Delhi government is preparing to launch 100 Atal Canteens across the city, each serving meals to around 500 people daily. Every meal will include roti, sabzi, dal, and chawal at a subsidised rate of Rs 5.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated that the scheme aims to ensure citizens have access to clean, hot, and nutritious food. The government will provide subsidies to maintain food quality. To prevent irregularities, the entire distribution process will be conducted through a digital token system, eliminating the use of manual coupons.
