MUMBAI: Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) to make sure that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) checks on the untreated waste of the city being disposed of in the sea, which is reportedly around one-fourth of Mumbai’s waste water. A division bench of chief justice Pradeep Nandrajog and justice Nitin Jamdar directed BMC to set up “within a reasonable period of time”, a network of sewage lines to bring the city’s untreated sewage to eight treatment plants.

The directive came after a senior advocate Anil Sakhare, representing the civic body, accepted that the disposal of untreated sewage into the sea is a problem primarily caused by lack of an adequate network of sewage lines. He also said that the BMC had taken steps to address the problem.
