The deputy secretary of the LS vide his office communication no. 1(588)IC/13 dated 03/07/2013 also informs the applicant that the rates of food items served in the Parliament canteen were revised thrice (2003, 2009 and 2010) in last 13 years and the last revision was made on December 14, 2010.

No wonder all our Government bodies are bleeding save a few (nav ratnas)! A sloppy management provided by the sarkari babus with no control or reviews and mired in bureaucratic red tapism!

I agree that Parliamentarians do not need subsidized food, but every private company feeds its employees subsidized food. In some of the private company they get free meals to their management employees.

Even in USA companies like Microsoft, Google, SAS and others have free food for their employees as an incentive to stay.
