"Meanwhile, we came to know that thousands of e-rickshaw owners do not have the PSV badges. Today, the cabinet has decided that we will give Rs 5,000 aid to all such e-rickshaw owners," Kejriwal said.

The lockdown, imposed from March 24, has been extended till May 17.

All public transport has been barred due to this, resulting in financial issues for the drivers.
