HC direction to PMC on cleaning of roads

Patna,(BiharTimes): A division bench of Patna High Court, comprising Justice T Meena Kumari and Justice Chakradhari Sharan Singh, on Tuesday directed the Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) to submit its report with regard to the action taken to clean the state capital and also installing streetlights under different wards of the city.

The court direction came in response to a PIL filed by Varun Kumar Sharma. The petitioner has stated that the state capital was littered with filth and garbage with no light on the streets causing great hardship to the people.

His lawyer, Sunil Kumar, said that the PMC, earlier on Court’s direction, submitted a report to the HC, in which it stated that in 19 wards work is underway for installation of street lights, tender for which has already been issued. The PMC assured the court that work would be completed within six months. It also informed the court that cleanliness drive would soon be launched in the city to get rid of the filth and garbage. The court directed the PMC to file progress report on the work to be undertaken by it and said the case would be heard again after summer vacation.
