On 28th May, 2021 the High Court at Gauhati acknowledged that the present condition of sex workers in Assam are on the verge of starvation, considering the strange and difficult times of the present COVID-19 pandemic. Particularly, the Cachar district where some of the sex workers and their family members are in immediate need of ration (rice, pulses, etc.) and other items of daily need. The High Court therefore passed the following directions-

  • Deputy Commissioner, Cachar as well as the Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Cachar to immediately provide ration to these families.
