The top brass of Patna district administration were today taken to task by a Patna High Court judge whose car got stuck in a snarl caused due to restriction on movement of traffic for Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi's programme at Chitkohra area here.
Irked over reaching the High Court late due to the traffic snarl, Justice Chakradhari Sharan Singh summoned the Commissioner, District Magistrate, Senior Superintendent of Police, City Superintendent of Police and Superintendent of Police (Traffic) to the court.
