The State government has taken the initiative to supply free meals through Annapurna canteens in all the 250 centres across the city as opposed to the priced meals that was there earlier. The free meal initiative is being provided as per the directives of KT Rama Rao, Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development as an aid to support underprivileged people’s livelihood.
Due to the rampaging second wave of pandemic impact, Minister has put forth the initiative as many grief stricken people in the city are in desperate need of regular meals, as their means of livelihood have been affected by the lockdown.
