It is a sad state of governance in our country that supreme court has to direct the govt. both central and state to do what must have been done in the normal course.
It would have been wonderful if these basic, by no means extravagant, directions had been issued on 31st March. Immense human suffering and hardship could have been avoided. If has emerged from today’s hearing that payment of rail fares has been done by either host or home states. No 85% of the tab picked up by IR.
SC order: Food at origin by respective state. En route by railways (i.e., centre). Waiting for next order with baited breath – who provides the foot and neck massage during the journey? The transit state? What happens if the train crosses state boundaries in the duration of said massage? Sigh, life is so complicated.

Empathy – a key distinguishing factor between humans and animals.
Food in general can be considered to be in a very very different league than a massage.
