Bombay High Court Urges Nagpur Authorities to Address Water-Logging and Illegal Constructions
The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court has criticized the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and other government bodies for failing to address water-logging issues caused by illegal constructions and inadequate drainage. In two separate hearings, the court questioned the shifting of responsibility between NMC, Public Works Department, and Nagpur Improvement Trust, and granted the NMC final opportunities to explain steps taken to prevent flooding near Somalwar School and to remove unauthorized bridges and embankments over a nullah in Shankar Nagar-Bajaj Nagar. The court emphasized the need for accountability and timely action to protect residents and public safety.
