The Delhi Rozi Roti Adhikar Abhiyaan (DRRAA) has said that despite repeated lockdown extensions, no ration was being distributed at ration shops as on May 10. Referring to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s announcement of the lockdown being extended for one more week till May 17, Anjali Bharadwaj of the DRRAA in a tweet said, “Repeated lockdown extensions being announced but no ration being distributed for those facing hunger and destitution. Today [Monday] is the 10th and not a grain has been given for the month of May. People are being forced to buy in the open market [sic].” Ms. Bharadwaj further added: “What is the plan of the AAP government for the 60 lakh people who need ration but don’t possess ration cards? Do these migrant workers, daily wagers and homeless not qualify as “Aam Aadmi?” Are they and their children supposed to starve during the lockdown? Restart e-coupon scheme immediately.”
