SC notice to Centre on mass exodus of migrant workers

The Supreme Court on Monday heard a petition filed by advocate Alakh Alok Srivastava seeking food, water and shelter for fleeing migrant workers amid the countrywide lockdown. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Supreme Court that all necessary steps are being taken to mitigate the situation. Hearing the matter via video conferencing, SC asked Centre to file a reply on the measures it is taking to help these migrant workers. The hearing has been postponed to Wednesday.
