The Punjab State Human Rights Commission, led by Chairperson Justice Sant Parkash and Member Justice Nirmaljit Kaur, has initiated suo motu proceedings following a report by Hindustan Times. The report, titled "Indifferent GMADA Sleeping on Garbage Mounds Taking Over Roads," shed light on the increasing problem of garbage littering the streets of Mohali.
The news report underscored the critical issue arising from the absence of designated dumping sites and resource management centers in areas under the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA). The result has been an overflow of garbage onto roads, not only tarnishing the city's aesthetics but also posing a severe threat to public health.

The garbage problem, as outlined in the report, emphasizes the urgent need for strategic waste management solutions in GMADA-administered areas. The Commission's intervention marks a crucial step towards ensuring the protection of citizens' rights and fostering a cleaner, healthier environment in Mohali. The authorities have until February 23 to respond to the Commission's call for action.
