Fill potholes in Mumbai by Aug 30: HC tells state govt

MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday directed authorities in Mumbai to fill potholes on the city's roads by August 30 and to file a compliance report on this.

The direction, passed by a bench comprising Justices R M Lodha and S A Bobde, came in response to a public interest litigation (PIL) that complained about the bad condition of Mumbai's roads.

The court directed various authorities in the city responsible for the upkeep of roads to fill potholes in areas under their respective jurisdiction.
