Bombay High Court Orders Strict Action on Mumbai Garbage, Urges Citizen Sensitisation
The Bombay High Court criticized widespread littering and poor waste management in Mumbai, particularly near heritage sites and the Kanjurmarg dumping ground. The court questioned whether such behavior reflects the 'price of liberty and democracy' and urged citizen sensitisation alongside strict, 'ruthless' enforcement by municipal authorities. It directed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to clear garbage within seven days and warned ward officers of accountability. Concerns were raised about health risks, pollution, and plastic waste flooding public spaces and beaches.
