New Delhi(Kalinga Voice): Food served in Parliament canteens for MPs and others will become costlier as a subsidy given for it has been stopped, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said on Tuesday.
While Birla did not specify the financial implications of the move, sources said the Lok Sabha Secretariat could save over Rs 8 crore annually with the subsidy coming to an end.
Talking to reporters about preparations for the next Parliament session, beginning January 29, Birla also said the Parliament canteens will now be run by ITDC in place of Northern Railways.
