The Panchkula Municipal Corporation on Wednesday requested the local police to register a case against unknown persons for burning garbage at the dumping site,Sector 23. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had banned the burning of the garbage at the dumping site while hearing a PIL,which sought directions to the authorities to shift the dumping site. We suspect that there are some miscreants who are trying to defame us by burning the garbage. We have written to the Station House Officer,Chandimandir,to register a case against unknown persons involved in setting the garbage on fire at the temporary dumping site in Sector 23, said executive officer of Panchkula MC O P Sihag. Someone put the garbage on fire on Monday night,but it was brought under control. Next morning,it was again put on fire. In fact,residents of Sector 23 had to call a fire tender to douse the flames. The residents have been demanding shifting of the dumping site.
