There is more garbage than land for people in the Capital, the Delhi High Court said on Friday while citing photographs in newspapers showing the accumulation of solid waste in various parts of the city.
The court said a will to work was needed to clean up the city and not funds as claimed by the three civic bodies, who have blamed the Delhi government for not implementing the 4th Finance Commission recommendations.
A Bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar said the court’s orders need to be read first “before we talk of implementation”, a reference to the June 21 hearing when it had noted that its orders appeared to have not been read by the commissioners of the civic bodies.
