SC to hear PIL on Delhi’s garbage pile-up issue and chikungunya outbreak
On 26 Sept, the SC will hear PIL on garbage pile-up and outbreak of diseases like chikungunya.

As he drew the court’s attention to breeding of mosquitos due to filth and garbage, the bench asked in a lighter vein ‘if the petitioner-doctor has made mosquitos a party’ in the PIL. The Delhi High Court had on September 20 directed the central and Delhi governments to take effective steps to ensure that the dengue and chikungunya patients are not denied treatment or admission in any of the hospitals in the national capital. ‘The government of India as well as government of National Capital Territory of Delhi should take effective steps to ensure that the dengue patients are not denied treatment/admission in any of the hospital (government/private) of Delhi,’ the High Court had said in its order.
