According to Lok Sabha secretariat sources, Northern Railways has been asked to discontinue its services.

The Northern Railways was running canteens of the Parliament House, Library and Annexe canteen and was providing subsidised food to Members of Parliament, staff and visitors at a fixed rate and menu.

It is likely that ITDC may do away with the current menu and subsidy.

ITDC sources said there will be a review of the menu once the service is started in Parliament House. ITDC will also ensure quality food, they said. (ANI)
