The Delhi High Court on Thursday expressed serious concern over poor maintenance of waste collection centers (dha- laos) across the city.
The court told the civic agency that garbage dumps should only be constructed at places earmarked for it and not near shopping centers. "The MCD is to ensure the dhalaos are properly main- tained. They should be as per norms with regular check up to ensure that persons are per- forming their job," said a bench of justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Valmiki J. Mehta MCD standing counsel Sanjeev Sabharwal told the court that the orders will be immediately conveyed to the MCD commissioner and the Sanitation Superintendent and it will be ensured that there will be no complaints in the future.
Sabharwal also said the civic agency would try its best to avoid dumps near shopping centres but said DDA will have to provide more space for them.
