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."

"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."
