Court extends order banning garbage disposal at Muthurajawela wetlands until 25 July
The Supreme Court yesterday extended the interim injunction banning the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) from dumping garbage at the Muthurajawela sanctuary.
A three-judge bench of the apex court led by Chief Justice Priyasath Dep extended the order until 25 July when the bench heard a fundamental rights petition filed against the CMC.
The fundamental rights petition demanding an injunction was filed on 15 June by 35 petitioners including residents living in close proximity
