Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin allocated Rs 21 crore to revamp Amma Canteens, low-cost eateries serving over 1 lakh people daily, critiquing rumors of closure post the DMK government's rise. Launched in 2013, these canteens received Rs 450 crore in three years from the Greater Chennai Corporation to aid the underprivileged. Stalin emphasized maintaining the canteens' quality and allocated funds for new utensils and renovations, ensuring the continuation of this vital social initiative. The government aims to enhance cleanliness, hygiene, and service quality in the canteens, benefiting urban poor and ordinary citizens alike.
