DPCC filed an action taken report on the matter on May 20, 2020.

It is, thus, not possible to check up the correctness of the conclusion mentioned in the report.”
The NGT directed that an exhaustive survey be conducted in the area to ascertain whether apart from the 61 units which had been checked and some found non-compliant, whether there are other non-compliant units and a report filed before August 31, 2020.
