‘Right to safe roads is a fundamental right under Art. 21’: Bombay HC orders compensation for pothole deaths, imposing liability on erring officials and contractors
“It is high time that compensation be awarded to victims or their families who have suffered deaths or injuries on account of potholes, only then will it serve as a wake-up call for the agencies. Refusing to award compensation, and merely to remind the civic authorities of their duties, would amount to rendering mere lip service to the citizens’ fundamental right to safe roads.”
