Chennai: The Madras high court has directed the Chennai corporation to ensure that the public place is kept neat and tidy, for which people should also co-operate by disposing of their waste materials as composite waste separately and the plastic and non-plastic waste separately and throw all the waste materials in dust bins.
“Necessary pamphlets or circulars shall be issued by the Chennai corporation to residents of the areas, as has been pointed out by the counsel for the Chennai corporation that there is recent news with regard to the prevalence of dengue in the state on account of the stagnation of water that will lead to breeding of mosquitoes which carry the virus that affects residents”, said Justice S.Vaidyanathan.
The judge gave the directives while disposing of a petition from D.Mayur Kumar, which sought a direction to the Chennai corporation, to remove the debris dumped in front the petitioner's shop on Mint street (near Sowcarpet Apollo Hospital) and further to construct in such a way that the manhole should be constructed at a level equal to the road.
The judge said when the petition was taken up for hearing, after taking notice for the Chennai corporation, it was represented by the counsel that the debris near the shop of the petitioner had been cleared, which fact has not been disputed by the counsel for the petitioner.
