Mumbai Flooding 'Our Own Creation', Stop Blaming Civic Body: High Court

The High Court in Mumbai has strongly criticized the tendency to blame the civic body for the city's flooding issues, highlighting that the problem stems largely from the residents' own actions, like illegal constructions and encroachments. Acting Chief Justice Ghuge pointed out that even the footpaths around the High Court are clogged with unauthorized shops. This underscores a broader issue of urban planning neglect and the need for collective responsibility in managing the city's infrastructure challenges. The court's remarks are a call to action for citizens to address these root causes to prevent future flooding disasters.
