HC seeks reports on MCD’s proposed
drainage in Sainik Farms
Tribune News Service
New Delhi, September 14
The Delhi High Court today asked the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to file reports of two committees which examined the proposal of making drainage to clear the waste of Deoli village in south Delhi after the proposal was opposed by the residents of posh Sainik Farms.
A Bench comprising Acting Chief Justice B A Khan and Justice Madan B Lokur asked the MCD’s Technical Committee and the Expert Committee to re-examine the issue of underground drainage which is proposed to through the Sainik Farms.
The residents of Deoli village had moved a writ petition in the High Court in 2003 complaining lack of drainage facility in their locality resulting in water logging.
MCD had come up with a project to lay down a drainage line which was proposed to pass through the nearby Raju Park as decided by its Technical Committee and the Expert Committee.
However, MCD altered the plan by which the drainage was to pass underground through the Sainik Farms.
Sainik Farms filed a petition opposing the altered plan and sought to restrain the civic body from laying down the sewage line through their colony as it could only be done by digging the main road of the colony built by the funds collected from the residents.
Sainik Farms is an unauthorized colony and the civic bodies of the city do not provide any facilities to its citizens. As a result, the basic amenities like electricity, water and roads are managed by the residents themselves utilising their own resources.
