New Delhi: The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has set up 'Langar on Wheels' at 10 places in Delhi to provide fresh food to the workers going home on foot.

Manjinder Singh Sirsa, President, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, said that mobile langar vans has been set up at Noida, Ghaziabad, Sahibabad, Seelampur, Shahdara and many other places.

Manjinder Singh Sirsa Sirsa said the arrangement has been made on the main roads connecting Delhi to Uttar Pradesh from where most of the labourers are walking home with their families. Mobile langar vans have been parked at these places.

Members of the Gurdwara Committee are serving langar to the migrant workers. He said that 30-40 laborers were being served langar together in a shady place. They are also being provided with food including, bread and rice and a bottle of water.

Sirsa said that the langar on wheels had to be arranged so that the workers would not have to find any gurdwara nearby and they could arrange the langar at their convenience.

PhotoThe Sikh tradition of langar symbolizes the distribution of food among the majority of the people and real cooperation is possible only when we provide langar to the society which is most in need.

According to the information received from the committee, a langar of juice, water and biscuits is also being set up for the workers traveling in the trains.

Indian Railways has provided a fruit counter to the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee at the New Delhi Railway Station and its members are providing this service in trains passing through this counter whole day.
