In case of using same handler for different queues, is it possible to get the current queue and task information in the handler? If yes, how?

You can get that information from the context, use the following function to extract the data from the context:

Example:

func myHandler(ctx context, task *asynq.Task) error {
    qname, ok := asynq.GetQueueName(ctx)
    if !ok {
        log.Printf("Could not retrieve queue name from the context")
        qname = "unknown"
    }
   // use qname
}
