COVID-19 | Free ration to 72 lakh ration card holders; financial aid to auto, taxi drivers: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

Rise above party lines and help each other, others in any way possible, said Arvind Kejriwal

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on May 4 announced the Delhi government would provide free ration to 72 lakh ration card holders in the city in addition to financial aid to auto and taxi drivers. He also appealed to members of political parties to rise above party lines and help each other, others in any way possible. “We hope we won’t have to extend the lockdown to break the chain of infection again, but a decision will be taken after the situation is assessed. The lockdown is hardest for the poor and especially those who must step out of their homes to earn a living on a daily basis,” he said.
