Locket Chatterjee finds boiled rice and salt for midday meal

CHINSURAH: Hooghly BJP MP Locket Chatterjee made a surprise visit to Chinsurah’s Balika Bani Mandir secondary school on Monday and was shocked to find the girls being served only boiled rice with salt for their midday meal .Locket immediately raised the issue with the school authorities and asked them to show records of expenses on midday meals.She said: “I am a mother. I could not stand to see little girls being served just boiled rice and salt for their midday meals. The state government’s Kanyashree sc-heme publicity campaign gives the impression that girls in the state have no problem at all. But I saw first-hand what a raw deal they get. I will raise the issue in Parliament.”
