You can&#8217;t expect him to remember to be careful of potholes in such a situation, it is not easy. So the best thing is to avoid such circumstances and keep the roads in good condition,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The problem of potholes and bad roads was not limited to Mumbai but was common across the state, the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>The Chief Justice said the local ward officers in each district of the state must identify all roads in need of repair and inform the secretary of the Maharashtra Legal Services Authority (MLSA) of the same.<\/p>\n<p>The MLSA&#8217;s secretary in-turn will prepare a report on the condition of roads, the need for repair, steps taken by civic bodies concerned and submit the same before the two-member committee.<\/p>\n<p>On the last hearing on August 3 this year, the high court had appointed the MLSA secretary as the nodal officer to receive grievances related to bad roads and potholes from the public and ward officers across the state.<\/p>\n<p>The court was informed today that since the last hearing, the MLSA has only received 180 complaints from citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The bench directed MLSA to publicise the formation of such a nodal authority and to encourage citizens to share their grievances and complaints of bad roads.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I personally do not even commute on these roads that are potholed or in need of repair. But I have to take up the cause for the common man,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is the duty and the obligation of the local authorities to repair and maintain roads. But when they fail to discharge this duty, this court feels very unhappy and is forced to interfere,&#8221; she further said.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bombay High Court today constituted a two-member committee to look into the repair and maintenance of roads in Maharashtra, observing that despite its several orders, the civic authorities failed to fix potholes and bad roads.
