The Nirmal Gujarat cleanliness campaign initiated by the state government met with limited success due to the voluntary nature of public participation. Now, a health and sanitation mobile court will start functioning from this week to keep a tab on those found littering in public places.
The first such mobile court in the state will be flagged off at Paldi by Justice K S Radhakrishnan, Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court, on June 4.
A specially designed AMTS bus has been prepared for housing the mobile court, complete with a magistrate and other officials. It will have a prisoner van and a police vehicle in tow. The prisoner van will be used to house persons who fail to pay the fines.
The entire AMC limits will come under the jurisdiction of this court. A provision for a mobile court was announced in the civic budget, but the idea could not be implemented for some reason or the other. But now that the appointment of a magistrate has been cleared, the launch is less than a week away.
