Violation Of Midday Meal Guidelines: SC Slaps Fine On Odisha, 5 Other States

Bhubaneswar: Odisha is among six states fined for violating midday meal guidelines.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday slapped a fine of Rs 1 lakh each on Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Jammu and Kashmir while it asked Delhi to pay Rs 2 lakh penalty.

The apex court took the five states to task for their failure to create an online link with a chart meant for monitoring  implementation and hygiene of midday meal schemes in government-run schools.

Expressing displeasure at these defaulting states over their non-compliance to the guidelines, the apex court directed them to deposit the fine within four weeks with effect from today with the Supreme Court Legal Services Authority for utilisation of juvenile justice issues.
