Pulls up AAP government for chikungunya deaths in capital.

New Delhi:
The AAP government on Friday blamed the spread of chikunguniya infection in the national capital on officers hesitant to work.

In a hearing before a Supreme Court Bench led by Justice Madan B. Lokur, senior advocate Ajit Kumar Sinha, representing the Lieutenant-Governor’s office, pointed to a statement made by the Delhi government suggesting an atmosphere of confusion prevailing in the governance of the national capital.

The affidavit said officers are not willing to take any responsibility and files are sent to the Lieutenant Governor’s office for clearance.

An annoyed Bench directed the Delhi government to place on record the names of all these recalcitrant officers on October 3.

“File an affidavit on oath giving their full details. And you will be personally responsible for any false facts,” Justice Lokur cautioned the Delhi government.

When the Delhi government counsel and senior advocate Paras Kuhad sought time till October 7 to file the details as he would be unavailable on Monday, Justice Lokur shot back, saying “No, we want it on Monday itself. If you are not available, ask your client to get another lawyer.” “People are dying of chikunguniya. We cannot wait till Friday (October 7),” Justice Lokur added. Incidentally, October 7 is the last working day before the court closes for Dussehra holidays.

The hearing was based on a suo motu PIL petition concerning the suicides of parents of Avinash, a seven-year-old boy who died of suspected dengue in 2015. The boy died after allegedly being denied treatment by five private hospitals. The parents, Laxmichandra and Babita Rout — both natives of Odisha, committed suicide by jumping from a four-storeyed building in south Delhi’s Lado Sarai in September 2015.

In the previous hearing, the Supreme Court had observed that “once Delhi is cleaned, then we will clean up the whole country.”
