HC: Can’t help corpn staff not doing their job
New Delhi:07.10.2021
Delhi High Court on Wednesday said it was not obliged to come to the aid of municipal workers and press for payment of their salaries when they were not discharging their functions on ground, leaving the capital in a “dismal state”.
A bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Jasmeet Singh, hearing a batch of petitions on non-payment of salaries and pensions to teachers, hospital staff, sanitation workers and engineers employed by the municipal corporations, expressed its displeasure at the state of cleanliness and upkeep of the capital.
“While on the one hand, we are pressing for payment of salaries and pensions, it appears that the municipal employees, especially safai karamcharis, are not discharging their duties... As a result, in the city, there is an increase in the case of dengue, collection of garbage and malba, and broken roads and pavements,” the HC bench stated.
“Not a single piece of plastic has been removed from there. It continues to be just as dirty and shabby... cows are eating all that plastic. They will die,” remarked Justice Sanghi while referring specifically to the Sainik Farms area. PTI
