The Supreme Court on Tuesday expressed its satisfaction with the measures taken by the Centre to contain the spread of coronavirus but expressed serious concern over the circulation of fake news across various news platforms – electronic, print or social media — which triggered an exodus of migrant workers from the cities.
A bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde and comprising Justice L. Nageswara Rao said: “The migration of a large number of labourers working in the cities was triggered by panic created by fake news that the lockdown would continue for more than three months. Such panic-driven migration has caused untold suffering to those who believed and acted on such news”.
