The children were seen standing in queues and maintaining social distancing as well.

Rajesh Sharma (SHO), Delhi Police said that ever since the lockdown has commenced, the daily wagers have faced problems.

The SHO added: "The kids today demanded that they wanted to eat pizzas and burgers as well. I felt that if they have requested, then their wish must come true."

With support from a burger joint he provided 500 burgers to street children. He further explained that before giving the burgers to children, the children were made to follow the basic precautions of social distancing and hand hygiene.

"I came here for the masks, stisers and burgers given by the police, I feel very good," said one of the children. Another child said: "I like to eat burgers and I will also say thank you to Police uncle later."
