India Today
Delhi HC has asked the central government to decide on the representation by an NGO for priority in vaccination for NRIs and students going abroad.
The Delhi High Court on Monday directed the central government to decide "as early as possible" a representation by an NGO for priority in Covid-19 vaccination to NRIs and students who have to go abroad for their higher studies. A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh said the representation of May 20 by NGO Pravasi Legal Cell was decided in accordance with the law, rules, regulations and government policy applicable to the case. Pravasi Legal Cell, in its plea filed through advocates M P Srivignesh, Robin Raju and Deepa Joseph, claimed that NRIs who came to India during the COVID-19 outbreak globally have to now return to their respective countries where they reside or work in view of the decline in infections in many countries and resumption of international flights.More Related News
