They also said they have collected lakhs of rupees in fines for violation of the sanitary rules and the bye-laws.<\/p>\n<p>The bench, however, said that imposing of fines has to be a &#8220;continuous&#8221; process as &#8220;people only understand penalties&#8221; and it may be the only method to change the mind set of the citizens. It told the corporations to work &#8220;vigorously&#8221; and not wait for the diseases to spread before swinging into action.<\/p>\n<p>The north and east MCDs, however, said they want funds from the Delhi government to pay their cleaning staff, who are at the top of the &#8220;pecking order&#8221; where disbursement of wages was concerned.<\/p>\n<p>The EDMC&#8217;s Commissioner, who was present in court, told the bench that without funds, it cannot pay its employees and most of them have not been paid for two months.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Delhi government was yet to implement the recommendations of the Fourth Delhi Finance Commission.<\/p>\n<p>When the bench asked the Delhi government to consider releasing the loan amounts sought by the north and east MCDs, it said that even it needed funds from the Centre.<\/p>\n<p>To this, the court told the Delhi government lawyer to file a petition if it lacked in funds and added &#8220;You can fight your wars whichever way you want, but you cannot fight it with the health of citizens at stake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The court had on the last date of hearing also rapped the Delhi government, saying &#8220;It is always you (the Delhi government) versus the Centre, the corporations, some statutory authority.
