Gujarat HC seeks joint report on Girnar sanitation PIL

Junagadh: The High Court of Gujarat, while hearing a PIL demanding proper sanitation and disposal of waste on Girnar Hilltop on Thursday asked the Junagadh district collector, the Junagadh Municipal Corporation and the chief conservator of forests to submit a joint report.

Advocate Amit Panchal filed the PIL, claiming that the area near Ambika and Dattatreya Mandir on Girnar has become a dumping ground with trash scattered all over. In response, the court issued a notice to the concerned authorities.

The petition seeks the installation of dustbins, warning boards, and regular checks by authorities to prevent pilgrims from littering the holy hill. DeshGujarat
