Mumbai's streets, gasping for space, can no longer double as graveyards for abandoned vehicles, the Bombay High Court (HC) has said with a clear order to all the police stations for the strict implementation of the traffic police's directives for disposal of such vehicles.

In an order passed on May 8, a bench of Justices GS Kulkarni and Advait Sethna said merely dumping such vehicles at a dumping yard would not be enough and called for continuous action to dispose of them.
