The SGPC has shown gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allowing the supply of wheat and rice for langar at public distribution system (PDS) rates.

Amid coronavirus threat and lockdown, the Union Government has allowed the supply of rice at Rs 3 per kg and wheat at Rs 2 per kg to the SGPC and the DSGMC, as both these Sikh organisations have been providing free food to the needy.

SGPC president Gobind Singh Longowal said following an appeal by Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, the PM agreed to provide food material at subsidised rates.

“Despite lockdown, the SGPC will continue to provide food to the needy. We are thankful to the PM for the gesture,” he said. — TNS
