NEW DELHI: Food items in Parliament canteen will be much dearer from tomorrow, with the rates being hiked in varying degrees in view of controversies over the items being served there at subsidised rates.
Accordingly, a veg thali which earlier cost Rs 18 will now be sold for Rs 30 and non-veg thali will cost Rs 60 instead of Rs 33 earlier. A three-course meal will cost Rs 90 instead of Rs 61 earlier and chicken curry, which earlier cost Rs 29, will be sold for Rs 40.
The revision of the rates, ordered by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, has been undertaken after six years and the rates will be reviewed from time to time, Lok Sabha Secretariat said here today.
The rates have been hiked as there have been controversies from time to time over subsidised food being served in Parliament when there is so much inflation in open market. (AGENCIES)
