As the COVID-19 situation continues in the capital, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced a free ration for all ration card holders for a period of two months.
“We have decided that all ration card holders in Delhi, around 72 lakhs in number, will be given free ration for the next 2 months. It doesn’t mean that the lockdown will continue for 2 months. It is just being done to help the poor going through financial issues, Kejriwal has said.
Meanwhile, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has announced that “After discussion with the associate ministers and officials yesterday, it was decided to implement the lockdown in Bihar by May 15, 2021. In relation to its detailed guidelines and other activities, today the Crisis management group has been instructed to take action.”
