Bombay High Court Criticizes BMC Over Waste Management and Citywide Cleanliness
The Bombay High Court criticized the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for inadequate waste management across Mumbai, noting that cleanliness in South Mumbai and other upscale areas does not reflect the city's overall hygiene. The court highlighted persistent garbage dumping in several wards, including Jogeshwari and Malad, and sought detailed affidavits on measures taken, especially on Gandhi Jayanti under the Swachh Bharat Mission. Despite previous orders, the court observed little improvement and emphasized the need for effective steps to protect public health and hygiene citywide.
