In a bid to ensure that no untoward incident takes place during the rains and also to safeguard the dilapidated Esplanade Mansion, the Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) to cover the entire building with netting.
The court has given MHADA five days' time to complete the work and submit a report on all the measures taken. Bombay HC justice S C Dharmadhikari and justice G S Patel said that in order to ensure that the balconies don't break and fall on passers-by, the entire structure needed to be covered.
