"Not fit for human consumption"
Newspapers provide accounts of the movements in different parts of the country.
Here is a report of a police strike in 1946. More than 2000 policemen in Delhi refused
to take their food on Thursday morning as a protest against their low salaries and the
bad quality of food supplied to them from the Police Lines kitchen.
As the news spread to the other police stations, the men there also refused to take
food ... One of the strikers said: "The food supplied to us from the Police Lines
kitchen is not fit for human consumption. Even cattle would not eat the chappattis
and dal which we have to eat."
