Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that additional 188 Indira Canteens will be opened in 2023 for catering food at subsidised prices for poor people in cities and towns.
After garlanding the statue of saint Kanakadasa at the Legislators’ Home in Bengaluru on November 30, he told mediapersons that Indira Canteens will be started in 225 wards of Bengaluru. Apart from this, he said, “Canteens will be started where it is necessary. Mobile canteens will be set up where there is shortage of space for Indira Canteens.”
He said Kanakadasa was a social reformer. He preached humanity through his literature. He was a universal man who worked hard to build an egalitarian society without discrimination. The saint composed many works.
