After lockdown in Delhi was extended by another week, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on May 4 announced free ration for all card holders for the next two months in the national capital. He further declared a help of Rs 5,000 to all auto-rickshaw drivers and taxi drivers in Delhi. “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. All auto-rickshaw drivers and taxi drivers in Delhi will be given Rs 5,000 each by Delhi government so that they get a little help during this financial crisis,” said Kejriwal.
