Delhi distributes food at over 800 locations to 4 lakh people: Kejriwal Last Updated : 29 Mar 2020 06:41:37 AM IST New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal addresses first digital press briefing on COVID-19, on March 21, 2020. (Photo: IANS) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday urged the migrants to stay back in the city during the lockdown and said his government is serving lunch and dinner to over four lakh people at more than 800 locations.
Speaking to the media through a digital press conference, he said the government has operationalised 568 Hunger Relief Centres in schools, apart from 238 night shelters.
"We have the capacity to feed lunch and dinner to approximately 4 lakh persons daily," Kejriwal said.
He also said that apart from this, mobile vans are also deployed to arrange food for those who cannot reach the locations.
"Although there is some issue, I am expecting that these will be streamlined in a day or so."
Kejriwal said the Aam Aadmi Party MLAs and party workers are reaching out to the migrants, and have been successful to stop a number of migrants.
"Lockdown should be implemented seriously. If we keep moving, the purpose of lockdown will be wasted. I urged the migrants at the border to come back to Delhi. We even opened night shelters in some of the schools around the border areas," Kejriwal said.
He also said that the ration from April in around 1,000 ration shops has reached and will soon be distributed.
"Coronavirus is spreading very fast. In the countries which we thought were highly developed are facing a serious crisis. We should learn from different nations."
The nationwide lockdown has started from Tuesday midnight, following which migrant labourers have started moving to their homes in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Odisha.IANS New Delhi For Latest Updates Please-
