New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Wednesday directed civic bodies to start cleaning the entire Lajpat Nagar here from Thursday morning and to maintain it that way as a "test" of their "efficiency and ability" to keep the national capital clean.
A bench of justices B D Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva said it wants to see if the civic bodies, including the municipal corporations, Delhi Jal Board, Public Works Department and DDA were "capable" of maintaining cleanliness in a model area "or else we will disband the corporations".
"We want to see your capacity... Start cleaning from tomorrow morning," the bench said. During the hearing, it had said "people have no civic sense and the corporations are not doing anything" to maintain cleanliness.
