Do you care to eat painted eggs? But that is what they are doing here

The eggs supplied as part of the noon meal scheme at schools would be painted with different colours to avoid their illegal selling in the open market.

District officials in Vellore said the eggs distributed on three days of a week will have different hues.

The Block Development Officers would ensure that the egg packets reach the schools properly.

In addition to this, flying squads would be engaged to detect any malpractice in the distribution.
