The Bombay High Court on Friday directed the Maharashtra Public Works Department (PWD) and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), to carry out necessary repair work and fill potholes on the Mumbai-Goa National Highway.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni also directed the authorities to ensure proper barricading of portions, where a road-widening work was underway along the highway, to prevent "loss of lives".
