The letter informed that the saddest state of affairs is the courage of the government machineries in the Department of Urban Affairs to make a mockery of the High Court when during the hearing of the PIL in this regard on the 22nd April 2022 made a tall claim that the garbage has been cleared when the field situation remains the same.
