Detailed and in depth argument took place today for this critical matter, in which court had taken suo moto cognizance of the critical situation and issued notice to Union govt.
More than 100 advocates participated in the video conferencing for more than 2 hrs, with SG trying to defend the position of centre.
Court raised many questions like:
1. If all trains are not...
more... running why still labour trains getting delayed by 4 days.
2. What sort of traffic congestion is there on the tracks
3. How irctc failed to prepare and distribute food in timely manner as promised to migrants.
4. Why no standard procedure uniform over all states for collection of fares, testing/screening
5. Why so much complicity in procedures before boarding in trains.
6. Questions on increasing no of in-journey deaths in trains.
A detailed report had been sought from centre through SG before the next hearing in which it has to quote the total time it would take it thinks to migrate all to home in this way and future policy vision
