Bom HC constitute committee to ensure repair and maintenance of roads in Maharashtra

The Bombay High Court Wednesday pointed to the lack of implementation of the court’s order on repairing potholes and bad roads across the city and has now constituted a two-member committee to ensure repair and maintenance of roads in the state.

The committee, comprising Justice K R Sriram and Justice G S Kulkarni of the Bombay High Court, will conduct special hearings, pass necessary directions for road repair, and also monitor the implementation of such orders.

A bench led by Chief Justice Manjula Chellur decided to constitute the committee after noting that despite several benches of the High Court having passed detailed orders on improving the condition of roads across the state, the civic bodies had done little to ensure the implementation of the orders.

While taking note of the suffering of the “common man” every monsoon owing to bad roads, the Chief Justice referred to the death of Dr Deepak Amrapurkar of Bombay Hospital, who in August this year fell into an open manhole while making his way through waterlogged roads while trying to get home from the hospital.
