Chennai Corporation to install Chapathis making machines by 15th October
Posted on: 27/Sep/2013 2:04:33 PM
Chapathis are likely to be a welcome addition to the menus in the city’s Amma canteens by next month with the commissioning of the first machine for their preparation under way in a Corporation community kitchen in Gopalapuram.
The chapathis, along with dal or kurma, will be served from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in each of the canteens. A plate of two chapathis will cost Rs. 3.
Additional units of the equipment will be installed in the community kitchens in Basin Bridge, Pulianthope and Chintadripet. The commissioning of the equipment will enable a total supply of 4 lakh chapathis a day with each of the machines churning out at least 36,000 chapathis. In comparison with the capability of the six women at work in the Amma canteens, who can make only 50 chapathis in an hour, the machines will have the capacity to manufacture more.
Every canteen will receive 2,000 chapathis in a day. The number of chapathis will vary across the zones; for instance, 14, 000 chapathis will be supplied every day to Manali that has seven wards and Teynampet, with 18 wards, is likely to get 36,000 chapathis per day.
The zones of Tondiarpet, Royapuram, Thiru-Vi-Ka Nagar, Ambattur and Anna Nagar, which have 15 wards each, are likely to receive 30,000 chapathis per day.
All the machines are to be installed by 15th of October according to Chennai Corporation.
