Nutritious food uneatable, complains Sangha

Mangalore Today News Network

Mangalore, May 28:  The Avibhajitha Dakshina Kannada Anganwadi Sangha has complained that the ready-to-eat food supplied by the state government to the anganwadis for children and pregnant women is bland and uneatable. 

The secretary of the association told reporters on Tuesday that the children refuse to eat the canned nutrient-rich food supplied by the government. Even pregnant women have complained that the food does not agree with them. Pregnant women now demand the food that used to be supplied to them earlier. 

Six months ago, the government stopped the supply of food grains and instead began supplying ready-to-eat meals and nutritious powders. 

The Sangha has appealed to the government to stop supplying these nutritious powders and resume the supply of food grains as usual.
