Bombay HC summons municipal commissioners due to poor condition of Mumbai roads

The Bombay High Court has summoned 6 Mumbai municipal commissioners to appear in a contempt petition regarding road potholes. On August 11, a Bombay High Court panel led by Chief Justice will hear the case.

In its order, the court requested the presence of the Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, the Commissioner of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, the Commissioner of the Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation, the Commissioner of the Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation, and the Commissioner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority.
