The party repeated its charge that the lockdown is unplanned."Because of unavailability of food, thousands of people were forced to leave Delhi and walk to their native places".Chowdhary advised the government to use school kitchens to feed the people and demanded that quarterly fees in private schools should be waived completely as many people are faced salary cut and business establishments are closed.The Congress also demanded a complete waiver of fixed charges on water and electricity on the lines of Rajasthan where the charges have been deferred.The Congress said the Delhi government is not dealing with the situation carefully as the prices of essential items are soaring and there is a supply shortage.The party referred to reports from across the country about hoarding and black marketing.
