The Supreme Court of India criticized the culture of announcing freebies before elections, stating it discourages people from working. A bench of Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih, hearing a case on urban homelessness, observed, “People are getting free rations and money without working.” The court suggested integrating them into society for development. Attorney General R Venkataramani informed that the Centre is finalizing an urban poverty alleviation mission. The court directed the Centre to specify its timeline and scheduled the next hearing in six weeks.
