The Bombay High Court (HC) on Monday said it cannot keep monitoring every road accident caused due to potholes and ultimately it is the city civic body's responsibility to ensure motorable roads and pedestrian-friendly footpaths. 

As per news wire PTI report, a division bench of Chief Justice Devendra Upadhyaya and Justice Arif Doctor noted that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) claimed to have spent Rs 273 crore on the filling of potholes last monsoon but the condition of roads continues to remain poor.
