Citizens are fed up of your inaction, BMC told

The Bombay high court (HC) on Wednesday came down heavily on the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for failing to control encroachments and illegal hawkers on pavements.

A division bench of justice SC Dharmadhikari and justice RI Chagla said, “People like the petitioners [in this case] are fed up of your inaction and that is the reason they knock the doors of this court. We [the high court] are now in-charge of everything…from encroachments to garbage. You have reduced the highest court of the state to a ward office…You do one thing…outsource the entire municipal business… that seems to be only way left now.”
