New Delhi: The Jhandewalan Temple here is providing meals since March 25 to the migrant workers, daily wage labourers, destitute and homeless and needy people during the nation wide lockdown, enforced to contain the deadly novel coronavirus.

Food is being prepared two times for approximately 20-22 thousand people in the vicinity of temple, maintaining great hygiene and cleanliness while preparing food.

The ‘Sevadars’ or workers have been told to wear gloves, masks, and head cap while preparing food and during its packing.

Rajendra Singh Chauhan, supervising the whole arrangement, said that trust is preparing food in the morning and evening and it is being distributed by the temple ‘karyakartas’ to the poor and destitute.

“During Navratras, we used to hold ‘Bhandara’ for people but the temple is closed this time due to coronavirus so Trust decided to serve people who are affected most due to lockdown,” he said.

The trust is also holding ‘Bhandara’ in the morning and evening for people who reside in the locality.

Food items like rice, pulses, spices are being donated to the temple Trust by people. The cost of one packet costs around Rs 20-22. Along with trust members and workers, RSS volunteers are also involved in the preparation and distribution of food.
