New Delhi, Apr 28 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday came down heavily on the Centre for the delay in implementing a cashless treatment scheme for motor accident victims, questioning the government's seriousness towards the welfare of the common man.
"You are constructing huge highways, but people are dying there because of lack of facilities," the Court observed.
A bench, comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan, expressed displeasure that despite its January eight order, the Centre had neither complied with the directive nor sought an extension of time.
