"Our party workers are also distributing food packets to the houses of those who can not come here to take food," he added.

A migrant worker Dilip Sahu said that he receives food daily.

"I receive food daily here but I am facing some financial hardships. If lockdown was not imposed, I would have gone to my village. We are stuck here in Mumbai," he said.
