At preset in almost all the Jails tea and 5 grams parched
grams are being issued to the prisoners as morning meal. It has
been noticed that not only the grams are parched improperly but
also not cherished by old age and infirm prisoners and go waste for
alternatives. Therefore, with a view
to improve the quality and to introduce variety in the food of the
prisoners it has been decided to make a change in breakfast. The
cost of proposed menu has been worked out which does not exceed
the overall cost of present fixed pattern of morning meals.
Accordingly, in future the variety of breakfast will be provided as
given in the following programme:
On Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday:
Roti of 58 grams Atta
and tea made of;
Re. 0.9 per prisoner
Sugar

On Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday:
