Delhi HC on sewer line across AIIMS
Last month, the Delhi High Court has outlined the need for a sewer line across the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) premises to prevent waterlogging in the Green Park Extension and surrounding areas. A bench of Justices Prathibha M Singh and Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora was hearing a petition on the issue of waterlogging in the area.
In an order dated June 18, the court noted the submissions of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), which said the proposed sewer line would not be more than 200-metre long and only require about 130 metre of land within the AIIMS premises.
