'Hungry can't wait': SC poser to Centre, states on migrant workers
The Morning Standard|October 05, 2024

The matter is related to the case in which the top court had on May 26, 2020, taken suo motu cognizance of the problems and miseries the migrant labourers faced during the Covid-19 lockdown.

From time-to-time, the court issued orders on the transportation of migrant labourers from their workplace to their native places and provided dry rations without insisting on an identity card as well as cooked meals to the stranded migrant workers.
