Food items in Parliament canteen will be dearer, with the rates being hiked in varying degrees in view of controversies over the items being served there at subsidised rates. Accordingly, a veg thali which earlier cost Rs 18 will now be sold for Rs 30 and non—veg thali will cost Rs 60 instead of Rs 33 earlier. A three-course meal will cost Rs 90 instead of Rs 61 earlier and chicken curry, which earlier cost Rs 29, will be sold for Rs 40.
