The Bench led by its chairperson Adarsh Kumar Goel had said that the “fact remains that the administration is patently a failure in protecting citizens’ right to clean environment, which is in no way less important than the right to live in crime free environment”.

With summer, fire outbreaks have begun in tonnes of garbage lying at the dumping yard at Brahmapuram. Garbage at the yard caught fire around noon on Friday, and was brought under control by evening, though some parts continued to smoulder, leaving residual smoke. Waste at the site has caught fire once in 2020 and multiple times in 2019, around this time of the year.
