#SupremeCourt will be hearing an urgent application filed in the Suo Motu case of 2020 by activists Harsh Mander, Anjali Bhardwaj and Jagdeep Chhokar seeking directions to ensure the migrant and stranded labourers are not deprived of ration and food security
The applicants contended that even though States have been imposing decentralised #COVID19 curfews and lockdowns more cautiously this year, "they have offered little welfare support to working classes and migrants whose livelihoods are at sea once again."
