NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Friday said drains cannot be allowed to remain clogged as the city should not suffer with another flooding in the next monsoon and issued a notice for contempt to two senior officers of the Delhi government for “ignoring” judicial orders.
A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Manmeet PS Arora said the cost of drains being clogged in the city and waterlogging was to be borne by the city residents and couldn’t be allowed to continue.
The bench took a strong exception to non-compliance of the court’s previous order directing the Delhi government to ensure that portions of the Taimoor Nagar drain in southeast Delhi was cleaned to enable an unhindered water flow from the drain towards River Yamuna.
