Gautam said, “the Delhi Government has controlled Corona very well under the able leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Despite this, many people of Delhi have lost their loved ones. We cannot reduce their grief, but the Delhi Government stands with all the families who have lost their loved ones. Also, the Delhi Government is serious about providing all possible help to all the children who have lost their parents and have become orphans. The Delhi Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has started the Mukhyamantri COVID-19 Pariwaar Arthik Sahayata Yojna scheme to help such families.”
