'Langar on Wheels' trucks carrying cooked meals from Gurdwaras in Delhi.
Anannke
Foundation will continue supporting DSGMC programs with 10,000 kg of dry white
rice every month and make sure no one goes hungry in the national capital Delhi
while it fights the coronavirus pandemic.
In the program
'Langar on Wheels' trucks carrying cooked meals from Gurdwaras in Delhi are
parked outside slums, government hospitals, old age homes, shelters, etc. and
people queue up to get a free meal for themselves & their families.'Langar on Wheels' is favourable for people
who cannot make it to a Gurdwara or don't have one nearby.In the fight against the COVID-19, one of the
tools is social distancing which is not feasible inside the Gurdwaras hence the
food is delivered to people directly while taking necessary precautions, till
now DSGMC is been able to feed more than one crore people in Delhi."Rich
people can stay home, as they have a store well-stocked with food, the
vulnerable population that does not have savings to last even for a day are completely
dependent upon external help as they are the hardest hit due to the pandemic. This
is the need of the hour. Dr Malini Saba, Founder & Chairman, Anannke Foundation.
"I am confident this partnership will help
people to overcome hunger and humanitarian crisis in this medical
emergency," said Dr Malini Saba, Founder & Chairman, Anannke
Foundation.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, President, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee.
"We promise
Delhi; no one would sleep empty stomach; this generous support from the group
will enhance our initiative towards feeding the needy and helpless in different
parts of Delhi. We serve meals to all, regardless of caste, class, religion,
gender, social or economic status or political consideration - especially at a
time when it is most critical," said Manjinder Singh Sirsa, President,
Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee.
