Delhi HC Calls for Centralizing Delhi Civic Administration
The Delhi High Court is concerned because different government groups in Delhi are not working well together to manage things like drains, which is causing flooding.
The court said that the government should think about putting all the management of these services in one place so things can be handled better.
The court is also dealing with specific problems in areas like Maharani Bagh, and they want the different agencies to work together with residents to solve the issues.
Delhi HC noted confusion among civic agencies due to unclear responsibilities.
The court is addressing waterlogging, rainwater harvesting, and traffic issues.
Conflicting management of storm water drains and sewage lines contributes to flooding.
Residents Welfare Association of Maharani Bagh filed a plea regarding PWD actions.
HC directed Delhi government to consider centralizing administration of civic services.
