Delhi HC Demands Water Quality Check After 14 Shelter Deaths: 'Too Many To Be Coincidence'
The Delhi High Court has ordered the Delhi Jal Board to test the water quality and check the condition of sewer pipelines at the Asha Kiran shelter home in Rohini. This decision follows the recent deaths of around 14 residents at the shelter in July.
The court also instructed the Delhi government’s social welfare secretary to inspect the shelter and report on the living conditions there.
Justices Manmohan and Tushar Rao Gedela, who were hearing the case, noted that such a high number of deaths in a short period cannot be a coincidence. They highlighted that all the deaths were linked to tuberculosis (TB).
The court has directed the authorities to relieve congestion at the shelter home. If there are too many residents, the shelter will need to be decongested, and the occupants should be moved to suitable alternative accommodation.
