Bombay High Court Questions BMC on Mumbai's Citywide Cleanliness Efforts
The Bombay High Court criticized the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for inadequate cleanliness across Mumbai, noting that well-maintained areas like Worli and South Mumbai do not reflect the city's overall hygiene. The court highlighted persistent waste dumping issues, especially near the Kanjurmarg landfill and in eastern suburbs, and requested a detailed affidavit on cleanliness measures, including actions taken on Gandhi Jayanti under the Swachh Bharat Mission. The bench emphasized the need for consistent hygiene discipline citywide to protect public health.
