Judges want plan of action placed before the court by Monday
The Madras High Court on Thursday directed the Centre to file a detailed report by Monday, indicating the preparations it had made to address exigencies that may arise in the future and the plan in place to allocate COVID-19 vaccines and drugs for the future use of the States and Union Territories. Though the situation appeared to be better in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, the court insisted on not letting the guard down. Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy directed Additional Solicitor General R. Sankaranarayanan to ensure that a centralised plan of action was placed before the court by Monday. The court also impressed on the need to augment the supply of oxygen both to Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, and said the silver lining was the proposed oxygen production at Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL).More Related News
