HC: BMC,MHADA must act responsibly

Expressing concern over increasing number of building collapse incidents in the city during the last one year,the Bombay High Court observed that authorities like the municipal corporation and Mhada must act in a more responsible manner rather than shifting blame on each other.

The remarks were made by a division bench of Justices V M Kanade and M S Sonak while hearing a petition filed by Hare Krishna Builders seeking a direction to the authorities of Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) to take action towards evicting tenants from a 90-year-old building here that is in a dilapidated condition and may collapse.
