It is well known that panic can severely affect mental health.
We
are
informed
that
the
Union
of
India
is
conscious
of
the
importance of mental health and the need to calm down those who are
in a state of panic.
Learned Solicitor General of India states that within 24 hours
the Central Government will ensure that trained counsellors and/or
community group leaders belonging to all faiths will visit the
relief camps/shelter homes and deal with any consternation that the
migrants might be going through. This shall be done in all the
relief
camps/shelter
homes
wherever
they
are
located
in
the
country.
The anxiety and fear of the migrants should be understood by
the Police and other authorities.
As directed by the Union of
India, they should deal with the migrants in a humane manner.
Considering the situation, we are of the opinion that the State
Governments/Union Territories should endeavour to engage volunteers
along with the police to supervise the welfare activities of the
migrants. We expect those concerned to appreciate the trepidation
of the poor men, women and children and treat them with kindness.
List the matters on 07.04.2020.
