Coimbatore: Two weeks after AIADMK MLAs in the district sought permission from the state government to distribute free food from Amma canteens, minister for food and civil supplies R Sakkarapani, along with forest minister K Ramachandran, launched the initiative here on Friday. DMK would bear the expenses for the food distribution, the ministers said after inaugurating the drive at the Amma canteen at Masakalipalayam in the city. “As the number of Covid-19 cases are sharply increasing in Erode, Nilgiris and Tirupur districts, a similar system will be implemented in those districts on behalf of DMK,” Sakkarapani told reporters.
There are 15 Amma canteens in Coimbatore district, of which five are in the city corporation limit. Hundreds of people, especially daily wage workers and homeless people, depend on food from the canteens.TNN
