The canteen at the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration headquarters has reduced its offerings, serving only tea and light snacks instead of full meals.
The canteen serving staff at the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) headquarters has announced a significant reduction in its daily menu. Effective immediately, the facility will no longer provide full meals and will limit its offerings to tea, coffee and a selection of light snacks.
A notice displayed at the canteen cites operational constraints as the primary reason for the change, though no detailed explanation has been released. The decision affects all employees who rely on the canteen for their regular lunch.
Management has advised staff to make alternative arrangements for their midday meals and has assured that the revised menu will continue to meet basic nutritional standards.
The move comes amid broader cost‑containment measures across several government offices in the state, but officials declined to comment on any direct link to budgetary policies.
