Delhi HC Orders Action Against Illegal Cafes in Majnu Ka Tila
The Delhi High Court has told the city's officials to take action against many cafes, bars, and restaurants in a place called Majnu Ka Tila.
These places are running without the right permissions and are not safe.
Some of them don't even have proper stairs or fire safety measures.
The court was told about this by two lawyers who said these places are dangerous, especially during floods.
The court made a joke that only the momo carts should stay.
The officials have been told to check and take action quickly.
Delhi High Court directed action against illegal food establishments in Majnu Ka Tila.
Multiple cafes, bars, and restaurants operate without required structural approvals and permissions.
Petitioners highlighted life-threatening hazards, including illegal basements and rooftops.
Court noted that recent floods exposed structural vulnerabilities of these buildings.
Authorities informed the court that a complaint has been registered and action will be taken.
