The Dakshina Kannada district administration has earmarked places where food packets for breakfast, lunch and dinner can be distributed to avoid duplication and prevent its waste

Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra said that this step has been taken after receiving complaints of people throwing away the multiple packets after keeping one for themselves. DC Rajendra has released a chart assigning organisations places from where food packets can be distributed.
Apart from the Government Wenlock and the Government Lady Goschen Hospitals, food packets are being distributed at the Service Bus Stand, Central Market, Mangalore Central and Mangalore Junction railway stations and 30 other places in the city. Arrangements have been made to provide food packets in Mudipu, Moodbidri, Belthangady and Bantwal.  Several organisations are involved in distribution of food packets. Each one of the organisations and volunteers have been given the number of packets he will have to distribute. If any organisation finds providing food at the allotted time difficult, it can convey it on the Whatsapp group that is formed for purpose which will enable other organisations to fill the gap.
