This year in April, the Bombay High Court said the Maharashtra government's efforts to make every city "smart" was commendable but it would only be possible when a city's roads, streets and footpaths were in a good condition and free of potholes. Every time an innocent dies due to potholes and waterlogging in the city and its nearby areas.
