Nagpur Roads: Six Infra Agencies Face High Court Over Potholes

Times of India · india

A petitioner has approached the Bombay High Court's Nagpur bench to include six more government agencies in an ongoing public interest litigation concerning the city's potholed roads. The move aims to end the blame game between various bodies responsible for road maintenance, including NMC, NIT, PWD, NHAI, MSRDC, and Maha Metro. The petitioner argues that accountability for road upkeep cannot solely rest with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation, as multiple agencies control different road stretches. This fragmented responsibility often leaves commuters struggling with unsafe road conditions and makes fixing accountability difficult.
