Commission’s chairperson justice Sant Parkash and member justice Nirmaljit Kaur took note of HT’s news report “Indifferent GMADA sleeping on garbage mounds taking over roads”.

The news report highlighted how in the absence of a dumping site and resource management centres in the areas under the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA), garbage from such localities was pouring out onto roads, becoming not only an eyesore but also a major health hazard.
