As many as 192 patients and their relatives have had their meals between 4 pm and 8 pm at Doon Hospital based Indira Amma Canteen on Thursday, said Dehradun chief development officer AK Pandey.
He said that the Government administration had released a Government order (GO) around four days ago, stating on a pilot project basis, patients and their relatives would be provided night meals too at Doon Hospital under Indira Amma Bhojan Yojana. The patients and those with limited resources will benefit from this scheme at the hospital, he added. Special focus has been laid on cleanliness in the affordable meals canteen. A person can get a meal comprising a mixed preparation of
Rajma-Udad-Bhatt, green vegetable, aaloo-gobhi, four chapattis, rice, green chutney and pickle for only Rs 20 at this canteen.

canteen was inaugurated by him at the HNB complex near Clock Tower as part of the scheme.
The Chief Minister had said that the workers and those with limited resources would benefit from the scheme.
