Declines to accept CS’s statement that it will be established next financial year
Viewing seriously the Chief Secretary’s statement that the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) would be established only in the next financial year, the High Court of Karnataka on Wednesday cautioned the government that it will have to issue writ of mandamus to set up the fund immediately if not established by February 2.
Pointing out that the State government has failed to set up SDRF from the past 13 years even though the Disaster Management Act, 2005, came into force in August 2007, the court deprecated “unwillingness” of the government to implement the provisions of the DM Act despite directions issued by the court since October 2019.
