SC should consider the situation of poor and needy people

Dear Editor,
The Supreme Court has decided to hear on Monday a petition seeking relief for thousands of migrants workers who are leaving big cities in masse for their hometowns because they don't have the resources to sustain during 21-days coronavirus lockdown." The biggest suffers of this crises are the poor, registered migrant workers, working in various bigP cities in India as rickshaw-pullers, bagpipers, construction workers, factory workers, house maids servants, unskilled, and semi skilled workers it further said."PM Modi last week announced a total shutdown in the country to curb the transmission of the highly contiguous virus. Unemployment and declining economy is growing a big threat for the country and this is why people are in compulsion to walk through the roads for their hometown just with a little hope of their survival. We hope that the Supreme Court will take an active decision to solve this serious problem as it is a dire need of the poor and poverty-stricken people. --Najib Bihar
