Bombay HC Slams BMC's 'Lame Excuse' on Powai Encroachments

• Bombay High Court criticized BMC's failure to clear encroachments in Powai, calling its excuse "lame."
• BMC claimed the encroached road was private property, which the court deemed "complete abdication of its powers."
• The court directed the civic commissioner to submit a plan to clear encroachments within 10 days.
• The petition was filed by Beaumont HFSI School, alleging BMC aided encroachers by providing toilets and water.
• HC ordered BMC to remove mobile toilet facilities from the street within 48 hours.
