List facilities at refugee camps: SC
Context
Rohingya or Indian, all are equally entitled to civic amenities, says the court
What has happened?
The fundamental right to basic amenities and a dignified life cannot be confined to the Rohingya alone, but has to extend to their Indian neighbours living in the same slum.
Background
The court was hearing PIL pleas to provide the refugees with basic amenities
SC observed
The Supreme Court cannot shine the spotlight on Rohingya refugees without doing anything for the Indian living in the adjacent slum
What now?
The court directed the government to submit a report on the basic amenities provided to Rohingya camps in Delhi and Haryana. The next date of hearing is May 9
