Akal Takht Jathedar Orders Mohali MLA to Clear Sector 74 Garbage
Imagine there's a place in Mohali where people are throwing trash.
The Akal Takht Jathedar, a religious leader, heard about this and told the local leader, the MLA, to clean it up.
The MLA is like the mayor but for a smaller area.
The Jathedar said the trash must go because it's close to a school, homes, and a special historical place called the Gurdwara.
The local residents don't want the trash there either.
The MLA has a short time to fix this, or the Jathedar will come back to check.
Everyone agrees this isn't a good place for garbage.
Akal Takht Jathedar ordered Mohali MLA to remove garbage from Sector 74.
The Joint Action Committee (JAC) opposes waste disposal at the site due to its proximity to sensitive locations.
The Jathedar instructed the MLA to complete the removal within a month.
The MLA confirmed receiving the order and assured the old dumping ground will be cleared within 15-20 days.
The JAC previously won a related case in the high court regarding the issue.
