2,639 conservancy workers of urban local bodies in Virudhunagar district to benefit under breakfast scheme
Revenue Minister K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran served breakfast to conservancy workers of Aruppukottai municipality here on Monday after formally inaugurating the breakfast scheme expanded to all urban local bodies in the State.
Virudhunagar Collector N.O. Sukhaputra was present.
The new scheme has been introduced as the workers found it difficult to cook their breakfast and take it to their work place to eat as they assemble for work early in the morning, the Minister said.
Hence, taking this into account, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin introduced the free breakfast scheme in Chennai Corporation in November and it has now been expanded to all urban local bodies.
