Minister for Food and Civil Supplies G.R. Anil who visited Government Lower Primary School, Cotton Hill, here on Tuesday as part of a Statewide inspection to ensure the quality of mid-day meals in public schools sat down for lunch with the students.
The Minister who had rice, ‘aviyal,’ curd, and pickle, however, stumbled upon a strand of hair in his lunch and set the plate aside. He was served a fresh plate of food and finished it in the company of students of one of the most prominent schools in the city.
Mr. Anil who reached the school with ward councillor Rakhi Ravikumar inspected the school kitchen, utensils, storeroom, and the quality of rice. He saw up close the lack of staff to handle cooking for the nearly 1,100-odd students at the school and the space constraints.
