The Delhi High court on Friday directed the Centre and Delhi government to work in tandem to make sure that pregnant ladies and their family members residing in hot spots, do not face any barriers during the lockdown.
A division bench comprising Justice Homa Kohli and Justice Subramonium Prasad while hearing the plea directed Delhi government to ensure that the helpline number for assisting senior citizens in the Capital during the lockdown, shall also be made available to pregnant women. “The helpline number shall be publicised adequately in the newspapers and the social media as also through the Delhi Police, wherever possible," the court said.
