Mumbai, Mar 11: Eight municipal corporations in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) were taken to task by the Bombay High Court for failing to comply with directions to file affidavits against illegal constructions.
“It appears there is no value for human life. No authority is willing to help us to check this menace. Buildings collapse, people die and compensation is paid. That is it," said the Chief Justice-led bench, questioning the state for failing to start a special cell to oversee the issue.
The high court called for affidavits again while also laying down a stern warning to summon all the civic chiefs if officials fail to comply with its directions.
