The court has ordered NCR states, including Delhi, to provide compensation to workers affected by Grape-4.
The Supreme Court said that we direct all NCR states to find out which workers are affected by Grape-4. If workers’ compensation is not considered, we will consider contempt proceedings against the states. The Supreme Court has sought affidavits from NCR states by January 5.
