Mumbai Court Orders Immediate Action on Abandoned Vehicles
Imagine Mumbai's streets are like your room, and abandoned cars are like old toys left everywhere.
The High Court is telling the police, "Clean up the mess!"
They can't just leave the cars; they need to get rid of them properly.
This is because Mumbai is crowded, and space is precious.
A housing society complained because the police were parking towed cars near them.
The court wants a long-term plan and said police who don't follow the rules will be in trouble.
Bombay High Court orders strict implementation of traffic police directives for disposing of abandoned vehicles.
The court addressed a petition from a housing society concerned about the parking of towed vehicles near their gates.
A communication was issued to all police stations, advising the relocation of abandoned vehicles to dumping yards.
The court emphasized the need for continuous action to dispose of vehicles, not just dumping them.
Breaching the orders will result in departmental action against the concerned officers.
