Sikh kitchens feed New Delhi's masses in virus lockdown

Initially, the Bangla Sahib Gurudwara started distributing meals, cooking over 40,000 meals in its kitchen for the poor and the hungry.

However, the Gurudwara soon realised that they weren’t making enough meals and so pushed it to 80,000 meals and then to 1,00,000.

Now it seems even those numbers could be less, with the place of worship increasing numbers to 3,00,000 plates per day.

To keep the kitchens running, however, is a huge task, taking around four dozen men to do it; all these men stay in the gurdwara, at the guesthouse and have not gone home since March 35.
