Considering a petition filed by Radhakanta Tripathy, a noted human rights activist and civil rights lawyer in the Supreme Court, the NHRC asked the Secretaries to act over the issue within eight weeks. Mr Tripathy in his petition has alleged that millions of homeless people, including lakhs of street children in India have been suffering immensely for a long time. "Especially, they are subjected to COVID infection without bare necessities of life and COVID testing and precautionary measures.
