Foreign Aid For Delhi Should Not Just Go To Hospitals Under Centre: Court

The Delhi High Court said if foreign aid was being given to the national capital, let the Delhi government distribute it.

The Delhi High Court today told the Centre that when allocating foreign aid, in the form of medicines and equipment, for the national capital, the same should not just go to the hospitals and institutions managed by the central government. A bench of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli said if aid was being given to the national capital, let the Delhi government distribute it. "When you give to Delhi, you should look beyond institutions and hospitals being managed by the central government. The aid should go where it is most needed and can be most utilised. "It should go where it serves the purpose for which it has come -- for the benefit of COVID patients," the bench said.
