Bangla Sahib Gurudwara serves over 1,00,000 meals a day

With colourful turbans and cloth bandanas to cover their faces, over four dozen men in Delhi's famous Bangla Sahib gurudwara are cooking almost 1,00,000 meals every day to ensure that no stomach is left hungry amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Keeping up with the Sikh tradition of service, the kitchen is the only space in the gurudwara which functions daily. The government sends trucks to the gurudwara everyday to pick up the food prepared here and distribute it to various shelters across the Capital city. The kitchen uses donated ingredients and equipment, and the workers have left their families to sleep in temple guest houses between long shifts during the lockdown.
