Chandigarh Court Presses for Vegetable Market Improvements
Imagine a messy vegetable market that the court wants to make better.
The market is in Sector 26, but it’s dirty and hard to get around.
The government wanted to move it to Sector 39, but there was a legal challenge that is currently pending with the Supreme Court.
The court says that even if the move is delayed, the market needs to be clean and safe.
They've asked the government for photos showing the improvements.
The court is not happy with the market’s poor conditions and lack of upkeep.
They want to see what the government is doing to fix it, even temporarily.
High Court demands improvements in the Sector 26 vegetable market.
The court expressed concerns over filth, congestion, and access.
The relocation to Sector 39 is stalled due to Supreme Court stay.
UT officials stated a third-party contractor handles sanitation.
The court has requested photographic proof of improvements.
