In Mumbai, district guardian minister Aslam Shaikh inaugurated the “Shiv Bhojan Thali” canteen at the civic-run Nair hospital. Under the pilot scheme, at least one ‘Shiv Bhojan’ canteen has been started at district headquarters. The state government is expected to incur an expenditure of Rs 6.4 crore for the pilot ‘Shiv Bhojan’ thali project that will run for three months. “Initially, 50 ‘Shiv Bhojan’ outlets will be set up for people where full meals will be available at Rs 10. We will expand the number of such outlets phase-wise depending on feedback,” Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had told the Legislative Assembly.
