As a reply to a petition which was filed before the Delhi High Court seeking a temporary halt on the Central Vista Project construction in light of Covid-19, the Centre has filed its counter affidavit in Court today, claiming that various Covid-19 compliant facilities have been provided for the workers at the site including provisions for their stay, testing, isolation and medical aid at the site.
Alleging that all this information was in the public domain but was suppressed by the petitioner, the plea terms the petition "an abuse of process of law" and seeks its dismissal with costs.
"The workers at the Central Vista site will have "access to immediate medical attention and proper care which would otherwise have been difficult due to burdened medical infrastructure", the Court further stated.
