Delhi Development Minister Gopal Rai said that close monitoring is on.
The Supreme Court on Friday rapped the Delhi government over the way garbage had been piled up in various places. The SC bench, headed by Justice Madan Lokur, said, "45 metres of height of garbage in places are alarming."
According to a report in India Today, the apex court said, "Do your MLAs have no responsibilities? Every part of Delhi is covered by your MLAs, what are they doing? Your MLAs, instead of increasing their salaries, should start segregating garbage. The issue of segregation of solid waste is alarming."
SC told AAP government what their plans were to clean the garbage. "You have to plan for the future. You don't have to react to a situation," SC directed.
The Supreme Court was hearing the matter pertaining to the case of parents who committed suicide after their child died due to vector-borne diseases. The SC asked to convene a meeting of all stakeholders including the MCDs and Delhi government on the issue of garbage disposal.
Delhi Development Minister on Friday said that regular monitoring is being done, adding that the medical card will be used at the entry gate of every mandi (wholesale market place) to curb the spread of the infection. Rai visited the chicken mandi in Ghaziabad and said no infection was found in the 2.2 lakh birds which arrived recently.
"We have taken few decisions in this regard. We'll make a medical card that will be used at the entry gate to curb the spread the infection. Those trucks which don't have medical certificate will not be allowed to enter. Five officials, five doctors and five retailers committee will be formed who will continuously monitor the situation," he added.
