Subsidized Lunch provided by the Municipal Corporation in Hyderabad.

Saw Free food being distributed today at a bus terminal in Hyderabad.
Well it was not exactly free but a subsidized lunch being sold at Rs 5/ per plate by the GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation). There was a long queue of people waiting to have their belly full of rice and curry.
Guess what, there were not only people from the lower class but also middle class persons enjoying their lunch in company with the homeless vagabonds, The timings for the lunch was only from 12.00 till 1.00 pm.
(Remember the icnonic Hindi movie "Awaara" where Raj Kapoor shares his lunch with the stray puppy dog.

What do you think, is it a laudable move?
