Delhi HC Mandates Notice Before Mohalla Clinic Staff Termination
The Delhi High Court has told the Delhi government that they need to give a warning before firing the people who work at the Mohalla Clinics.
These clinics are like small doctor's offices run by the government.
The court said that if the government wants to replace the workers with new ones before March 31, 2026, they have to tell the current workers two weeks beforehand.
