Homeless, beggars should work; everything can't be provided to them by state: HC
India TV NewsThe Bombay High Court on Saturday said that homeless persons and beggars should also work for the country as everything cannot be provided to them by the state. A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni said this while disposing of a public interest litigation filed by one Brijesh Aarya, seeking directions to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to provide nutritious meals thrice a day, potable water, shelter and clean public toilets for homeless persons, beggars and poor people in the city. The court, in its order, noted that public toilets in the city and across the state presently charge a minimum amount for usage, and directed the Maharashtra government to consider allowing homeless persons to use such facility free of charge. “We direct the state government to look if the homeless persons can use these toilets free of charge,” the bench said.
