Gujarat High Court |
The Gujarat High Court reprimanded the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) on July 18 for its poor handling of the issue of potholes on city roads.
The court expressed dissatisfaction with the AMC's repeated assurances of improvement in road conditions, stating that the problem of potholes persists despite these claims.
The court questioned the AMC's reliance on third-party contractors for road repair and maintenance, asking, “Do engineers only work with the help of third-party experts?”
The bench, comprising Justices Alpesh Y Kogje and Sameer J Dave, directed the AMC to submit its policy on road construction, road opening for repairs, and road closures.
The next hearing for this case is scheduled for July 25.
