The Bombay High Court observed that Mumbai’s recurring monsoon flooding is not solely the BMC’s responsibility, stating that encroachments, blocked drains and illegal constructions by citizens have worsened the crisis. The Court urged shared accountability, remarking, “We should stop blaming the corporation.”
The Supreme Court has given the Bihar government six weeks to respond to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) addressing safety concerns following multiple bridge collapses. Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna highlighted the urgency of the matter, directing both the state and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to provide detailed responses.
