Gujarat HC Issues Notices Over Village Water Pollution
Imagine the water in three villages is dirty, and the court told the people in charge to clean it up.
But, they didn't, and the water is still polluted.
The court is now angry and is making them answer for it.
These people include the head of the pollution control board and some important government officials.
The dirty water is in ponds used by villagers, and it's making it hard for them to grow food.
The court has ordered them to come up with a plan to fix the problem.
Gujarat High Court issued notices for contempt of court to officials.
The notices are related to water pollution in three villages near Dholka.
The court's action follows a 2018 public interest litigation.
The water in ponds is polluted, with sewage detected in samples.
The court has ordered the concerned officers to devise a plan to resolve the issue.
