The Supreme Court on Friday asked the West Bengal government to implement one nation-one ration card immediately without any excuse saying that the state can’t give excuses as the scheme is meant for migrant workers at this time of coronavirus pandemic and lockdown.
“You cannot cite one or the other problem. This is for migrant workers,” the Supreme Court said in its order to the West Bengal government.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court reserved its order on the case relating to problems faced by migrants during the lockdown and on the registration process of unorganised workers so that they can avail the welfare benefits given under various government schemes. The Supreme Court’s order has come hours after Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad slammed the Delhi and West Bengal govts for not implementing the Centre’s ONORC scheme.
