HC slams civic chaos, calls for centralisation
The Morning Standard
|July 29, 2025
SLAMMING the "enormous confusion" and lack of accountability among civic bodies, the Delhi High Court on Monday called for urgent centralisation of flood and drainage management in the national capital.
The court said the multiplicity of agencies and unclear division of responsibilities have led to mismanagement, frequent flooding, and public suffering during monsoons.
A bench of Justice Prathiba M Singh and Justice Manmeet P S Arora, while hearing two suo motu petitions on waterlogging, rainwater harvesting and traffic woes, pointed to the glaring coordination gap between agencies like the MCD and the Delhi Jal Board (DJB).
