Hoardings re-appear due to police inaction: MCD

The Municipal Corporations here have told Delhi High Court that one of the “major hurdles” in removal of illegal hoardings in the city was their reappearance due to alleged inaction by the police.

The Corporations have contended before the high court that wherever immediate action was required, complaints were forwarded to Delhi Police, but “no action was forthcoming” from them. 

In view of the allegations made by the Corporations, a Bench of justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva sought the police’s response on whether there has been any inaction on its part and, if yes, to take immediate steps to find a remedy.  The Corporations have been asked to file their status reports containing instances of inaction by police before the next date of hearing in August.
