This Court is flooded with writ petitions to direct the

¶29

statutory authorities to comply with their statutory duties. In most of the cases, even if direction has been issued, the same is not complied with and several contempt petitions are filed. It is not known what the elected representatives are doing and as to why the people are not approaching the elected representatives for their civic needs and coming to this Court. If they have lost faith on the elected representatives, they should unseat them from the power.
