"The canteen has been constructed by the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board at a cost of Rs 4 lakh. It is very pocket friendly as people will get a wholesome diet from the canteen at a price of Rs 10. The food will include four rotis, pulses, vegetables and rice," an official statement said.

The canteen will be open from 11 am to 3 pm.
