The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court on Wednesday issued notice to the Maharashtra government and MSRDC over a PIL demanding a temporary halt to traffic on the Samruddhi Expressway till proper safety measures are put in place.

The Public Interest Litigation, filed by citizen Anil Wadpalliwar, claimed inadequate safety measures were responsible for several fatalities in accidents that occurred on the Expressway since its inauguration last December.
