It appears that for providing several facilities to the Delhi Traffic Police personnel, this petition has been preferred whereas the Delhi Traffic Police personnel, if any one of them is aggrieved by the action of the respondents for not providing any facility, can always approach this Court. 3.
The respondents should take all care for their staff personnel such as to provide drinking water, sanitation and regular medical examination and check-up on a monthly basis. It is expected from the higher administrative officers of the respondents that they shall provide clean drinking water, sanitation and regular medical examination to Delhi Police personnel and, that too, on regular basis, in accordance with law, rules, regulations and Government policy. If there is any violation of such type of rules, regulations or Government policy, the police personnel can always approach appropriate authority or Court for redressal of their grievances in accordance with law.

With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. CHIEF JUSTICE SEPTEMBER 27, 2019/kks C.HARI SHANKAR, J W.P.(C) No.10522/2018 Page 2 of 2
