Governments Have Ignored SC Orders on Drought, Say Activists -Gaurav Vivek Bhatnagar

-TheWire.in

Centre and state governments have not followed through on providing food grains, mid-day meals, loans or MGNREGA payments.

New Delhi:
Six people’s movements and organisations that have come together as an informal consortium to monitor the response of governments to the drought situation in large parts of the country slammed the Narendra Modi government as well as the states for their collective failure to act when nearly half the country’s population is suffering due to three years of successive drought, with millions of cattle and farm animals dying in the absence of water and fodder.

“Maybe in the colonial age, things would have been better,” said Yogendra Yadav of Swaraj Abhiyan, as he anchored a media interaction here on Thursday to build pressure on the Centre and the states to deliver on their promises.

Giving a detailed account of how governments have failed the people and ignored the directions of the apex court, leading to mass migration from the villages, Yadav said the Supreme Court had in a historic order in May delivered a judgment on the drought situation which was also a big order on social justice. This order, issued after conducting 14 hearings over 40 hours, enthused and activated people’s movements or andolans which wanted to see the order implementation at the ground level.
