No cooking in Parliament, only packed food in Monsoon session

New Delhi, Sep 13 Indian Parliament's much-publicised canteen will not prepare mouth-watering dishes inside the premises in the Monsoon Session beginning on Monday, with only packed breakfast, sweets, lunch, combo meals and other items to be served.

Except non-vegetarian dishes, other dishes and snacks to be served in the Parliament during the session will be outsourced by the Northern Railway through its Bengal Sweets vendor in the national capital.

Northern Railway has been providing catering services in the Parliament since 1968. Due to the stringent Covid-19 protocols, three of the current operational canteens the Snacks Bar in the Central Hall, and those in the Parliament Annexe and the Library Building in the Parliament complex will only make tea, coffee and kahva.

Breakfast, snacks or sweets will have a cheese roll for Rs 28, kachori khasta for Rs 10, samosa for Rs 10.90, a vegetable sandwich for Rs 19.75, a vegetable patty for Rs 25, paneer pakoda for Rs 15.90, vegetable kabab for Rs 75, dhokla
