Be that as it may, we are passing this order after taking judicial note of the fact that in fact in Ranchi virtually no work has been done, so far as cleanness of the city is concerned and, therefore, we direct M/s A2Z Waste Management Company Ltd. to show its working on the next date by filing affidavit and by indicating that how much man power, it has engaged for the job assigned to the company. The company may also disclose that how many persons are continuing in the company for cleaning the city.
