It is an intervention that might finally give Delhi’s kids better parks to play in. A Supreme Court judge’s letter expressing anguish at the dysfunctional state of children’s parks in the city prompted the high court to issue notices to various civic agencies on Wednesday.
Treating the judge’s letter as a PIL, a division bench of acting Chief Justice B D Ahmed and Justice S Mridul directed the city’s municipal bodies, DDA, PWD and urban development ministry to file status reports, with pictures, within two weeks on the children’s parks being run by them.
“Give us a report on all children’s parks in Delhi, whether they have slides, swings and other facilities along with photographs,” the bench added.
