The Supreme Court on Thursday told the Centre and States that no citizen should die of hunger and food should reach the homes of every migrant worker.
"Migrant workers play a vital role in building up of this country and the only solace they want is that you (government) take care of them and their families. If you don't take care of migrant workers, who will?" Justice M.R. Shah asked the Centre and the States.
This case was originally taken up suo motu by the apex court during the pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns in light of distress and problems being faced by migrant workers.
