Recently, a division bench of the Madras High Court had also raised concern over the state of poor and shelter-less, who as per the bench of Justices N. Kirubakaran and R. Hemalatha will be the worst hit class of persons, in these days of medical "crisis".
In a direction made on Friday, the bench thus asked the State authorities to provide food and shelter to such people, during the nationwide Janta curfew to be carried out from 7 am to 9 pm on March 22, Sunday.
The court also ordered that if necessary, the Government should utilize the Community Halls, Marriage Halls and Schools for this purpose.
