"The weather has changed. It has become summer, so the food went bad. We do not want to complain, but how are we going to eat this. They cannot expect us to eat rotten food and then fall ill. We will not even be able to go to a hospital in case of food poisoning. Efforts of many people have gone to waste because it was not transported under proper conditions. Such things should not happen especially when there is food crisis in our colony," added Arun, the Pradhan of the camp.

Most afternoons and evenings, there is also a rush to collect food packets and sometimes people fight for food too. Arun says it is inevitable because less than 600 packets of food come for around 5,500 people. "How will everyone in the camp manage. Of the 5,500 people, less than 250 have ration cards. They are getting ration, but what about the others. The government should give ration to everyone not just to those with cards," underscored Arun.

The Congress urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday to be bold in declaring a financial package of at least five to six per cent of the GDP for ensuring economic recovery after the COVID-19 lockdown.

The Opposition party demanded that the Centre cleared all pending dues to the states to enable them to fight with the novel coronavirus pandemic, besides also giving each of them special economic packages.

At a press conference via video, party spokesperson Anand Sharma said the government must also allow industry contributions under the corporate social responsibility to the chief minister relief funds in various states along the same lines as that granted to the PM Cares Fund.
