After hearing Senior Advocate M K Bhardwaj with Advocate Gagan Kohli for the PIL, the DB observed, “status report filed by R S Jamwal, DeputyAG with regard to installation of Flood Control Casting Management System is taken on record and he is directed to apprise the court with regard to further steps taken by the respondents”.
