We put our side before the High Court again, as I announced earlier that we would ask for time from the court for all these things until we take all the people into confidence. I am satisfied that the High Court has accepted it and has given a time of six weeks for it."
"In the meantime, all the parties and if anyone else wants to keep their side then they can present it before the court and the state government would follow the decision of the court," the CM said.
He further added, "I would like to tell the people of the state that we have done what we said. Do not believe any false rumour; the government is committed to take action according to the directions of the court. We will run our system accordingly. Our first priority is the public's trust, the public friendly government. This is our job to maintain the trust of the public and also it is our duty to inform the court about all kinds of incidents happening as well."
During the hearing on Monday, the High Court said that the state government was free to take necessary action in compliance with the order dated on December 3, on its own level for the safe disposal of the toxic waste.
