The Delhi government will provide dry ration to the students of its schools for a six-month period under the mid-day meal scheme, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Tuesday. The move comes in view of the continued closure of schools since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the schools were closed, we decided to send the money for mid-day meals to the parents accounts, but now, it has been decided that we will give dry ration for six months, Kejriwal said at a dry ration distribution event at a government school in the Mandawali area.
