For police personnel who are finding it difficult to cook food in their houses in the city due to COVID-19 management duty, Police Commissioner N. Shashi Kumar here on Wednesday launched a canteen where food is being provided between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. “There are many bachelors among the police personnel and also, those who have been forced to stay single as they have sent their family members back to their native places following a surge in COVID-19 cases. They are dependent on hotels and other eateries for food. As we found that these personnel are facing problems in getting healthy food on time, we opened a new canteen,” Mr. Kumar said. To start with, six police personnel and two Home Guards have been deployed to cook food for about 300 personnel every day. While it was rice-sambar, pulav and kesari bath on Wednesday, rice-sambar and rice bath was provided to the personnel on Thursday. Four counters have been opened to provide food to the personnel in a staggered manner by maintaining social distancing. The personnel will also get “kashaya” at these counters.
