The Supreme Court on Tuesday expressed its concerns over the "freebie" schemes of the government, calling it an unviable solution for the problems of migrant labourers. The Supreme Court said: "Providing free food grains is not a permanent solution, measures should be taken to increase employment."
"Free food grains cannot be a long-term solution," the SC said. The court made the remark when the petitioner demanded increasing the scope of free and subsidised food grains and the Centre in response informed about giving free food grains to 81 crore people.
