India is the third worst affected by COVID-19, which has claimed around 62,700 lives and infected more than 3,461,240 people so far. The pandemic affected more than 1,68,000 people and took over more than 4,370 lives in Delhi. As per the 2015 report by the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Delhi has about 6,343 slums with 1.02 million households, ‘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 precaution, till now DSGMC is been able to feed more than one crore people in Delhi.
