‘Support given to stranded citizens in Iran’

22/04/2020, LEGAL CORRESPONDENT,NEW DELHI

The Centre informed the Supreme Court on Tuesday that the Indian Embassy in Iran is taking care of citizens stranded there, including 860 fishermen, due to COVID-19. However, a Bench led by Justice N.V. Ramana took into consideration a submission made by senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan that the fishermen were unable to procure supplies because of non-payment of bills. The court directed the Centre to look into the grievance and address it.
